[edit] Changed Intro

I changed / shortened the introduction. My first basic problem was the previous intro was unbalanced & didn't cite sources. I intend to put some more references in here soon. I guess the intro should stay short, cause the two main pages (Alkane Stereochemistry & Cyclohexane conformations) where it points to do a lot of explaining (and citing), also when it comes to relative stabilities in those cases. Hope this is ok to some people reading this, I still intend to improve it. --WijzeWillem (talk) 15:17, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Crams Rule

Anybody know anything about Cram's Rule? it's very important in determining major and minor products of various substitution mechanisms but my knowledge of it is flawed. Also some coverage of the finer points of conformer naming would be good. I know antiperiplanar is coincident with the simpler anti configuration. Snarfevs 04:20, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
