Conformational analysis, 1869 (1976)

Description Since historical accounts of the concept of the tetrahedral carbon atom credit Joseph Achille Le Bel and Jacobus Henricus van't Hoff with this idea but ignore the 1869 paper of Emmanuele Paternò of the University of Palermo, the authors present excerpts in English translation of this paper along with a discussion of Paternò's contribution.
