This book provides a comprehensive overview of stereochemistry in organic compounds, covering various aspects such as conformations, isomerism, optical activity, and reaction stereochemistry. It is divided into five parts, with Part I introducing the concept of stereochemistry, Part II focusing on the stereochemistry of organic compounds with carbon-carbon single and double bonds, Part III discussing the stereochemistry of reactions, Part IV exploring the stereochemistry of heterocyclic compounds, and Part V addressing stereoselective synthesis and organic reactions. The book includes detailed discussions on different types of isomerism, including cis-trans isomerism, optical isomerism, and other forms of stereoisomerism. It also covers the stereochemistry of various functional groups, such as amines, phosphorus compounds, and sulfur compounds, as well as the stereochemistry of biomolecules like carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids. The text includes practical examples, synthesis methods, and characterization techniques for stereoisomers. Additionally, it discusses the application of optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism in the study of chiral molecules. The book is written by Dr. V. K. Ahluwalia, a renowned chemist with extensive experience in teaching and research. It is a valuable resource for students and researchers in the field of chemistry.This book provides a comprehensive overview of stereochemistry in organic compounds, covering various aspects such as conformations, isomerism, optical activity, and reaction stereochemistry.
