STEREOCHEMISTRY OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS

Stereochemistry is the chemistry which deals with the different arrangement of atoms or groups in a molecule in space. Stereochemistry plays a very vital role in our day to day life. It has been observed that many living systems, plants and many pharmaceuticals possess or respond to only a particular type of arrangement in a molecule and are found to be stereospecific in nature. During recent years, stereochemistry has undergone a phenomenal growth both in theory and practice, with a simultaneous increase of interest among the organic chemists, biological chemists, medicinal chemists, and pharmacologists. The present book provides coherent and comprehensive account of the subject starting from the fundamentals and leading up to the latest developments as far as practicable.
