Investigations on the stereoisomer dihydro acids and application of the conformation theory (41, 19) allowed the question of the con-figurative relationships between the two asymmetrical centers in lysergic acid and in isolysergic acid to be solved. 

A number of cross-checks are available, for example, the Cotton effects of the complexes D(+)[Co(en)a]3+ (configuration established by Bijvoet method) and of D(+)[Co(+pn)3]3+ (configuration predicted by conformational theory) would be expected to be similar, and this was found to be the case (31). The configuration of L(—)[Co(—pn)s]3+ has also been established by a crystallographic study (30). 

Today, conformational theory stands as one of the basic foundations of organic chemistry. It is difficult to comprehend that, for all practical purposes, this concept was non-existent for more than a century its birth was largely stimulated by the urgent needs of organic synthesis. 

When we ask the question of how 7 is prepared from 8, we are forced to examine the library of reactions that form carbon-carbon bonds as well as those reactions which prepare and interchange functional groups. In other words, it forces a review of organic chemistry. Other important concepts in organic chemistry must also be brought to bear on the problem, including stereochemistry and conformational theory. 

Interest in these compounds and in their many applications has grown steadily. The impact of modem chemical and physical-chemical techniques, and of the principles of conformational theory, is increasingly felt. Knowledge of the chemistry of these compounds may be expected to expand rapidly in the near future.
