Basic Concepts in Organic Stereochemistry

Symmetry and Molecular Chirality. Conformation, Stability, and Physical Properties.- Configurational Nomenclature. Physical Properties of Geometrical Isomers.- Projection (Fischer, Newman, Sawhorse) and Perspective (Flying Wedge and Zigzag) Formulas, Working out Stereoisomers.- Prochirality and Prostereoisomerism. Topicity of Ligands and Faces Nomenclature [1-5].- Asymmetric Synthesis.- Some Other Aspects of Dynamic Stereochemistry: Conformation and Reactivity.- Conformation of Saturated Six-Membered Ring Compounds.- Cyclohexanone.- Fused Ring Systems.- Stereoisomerism: Axial Chirality, Planar Chirality, (R, S) Notations Helicity.- Chiroptical Properties I: Optical Rotation. ORD, CD [1-4].- Chiroptical Properties II: Helicity Rule or Chirality Rule.
