Perspective on “Theoretical interpretation of 1–2 asymmetric induction. The importance of antiperiplanarity”
TL;DR: Anh and Eisenstein this article solved a classic problem in organic stereochemistry and simultaneously provided the impetus and a model for the use of quantum mechanics to understand a wide range of organic chemical phenomena in a style accessible to experimental chemists.
