Basic Organic Stereochemistry

Stereoisomers are compounds with the same chemical formula and connectivity but with different arrangements of their atoms in 3-dimensional space. Stereochemistry encompasses the study of stereoisomers and their properties. Despite having an identical chemical formula, stereoisomers can have drastically different biological, medicinal, and chemical properties. Basic Organic Stereochemistry explains in clear, concise terms the concepts and properties of stereoisomers. Ideal both as a text for advanced undergraduate or graduate students and as a handy guide for researchers in industry, this superb text covers : Polarimetry and optical rotation

Stereochemistry is a 3d representation of a carbon that is sp3 hybridized. There are many different types of stereoisomers. Let's first discuss a few basic concepts  ...
