This book is designed to give an illustrative rather than an encyclopaedic view of the fascinating world of alicyclic compounds. It is focused on the basic topics of structure and chemical transformations. The classification and structural description of alicyclic compounds and an assessment of their stability is followed by the treatment of processes characterizing their dynamic behaviour. Further chapters describe useful methods for the synthesis of alicyclics by ring contraction, ring enlargement and transannular cyclization. Finally, the application of alicyclics for the construction of important natural products or interesting model compounds is discussed. The extensive bibliography of more than 1500 references and detailed subject index will be particularly useful. The book will be of interest to graduate students and lecturers in organic and physical organic chemistry, as well as to research chemists at universities and in the fine chemical, pharmaceutical and fragrance industries.
