Abstract It is possible to draw analogies between linear polymers and cyclic compounds. Stereochemical considerations developed in this connection led to the recognition of new aspects of importance for the systematic classification of both classes of compounds; for example, asymmetric structures can be predicted which had hitherto never been suspected. – The concept of “diasteric centers” is introduced, and the definition of an “asymmetric center” is expressed in more general terms.
