Comprehensive Stereochemistry

The book 'Comprehensive Stereochemistry' is designed to help students focus on the topic stereochemistry from two standpoints: First, to strengthen their grasp and understanding of the subject of study and their applicability at the grassroots level. Second, to develop their calibre, aptitude and attitude for the subject. The book approaches the subject in a very conceptual and logical manner. While its illustrative and solved examples will facilitate easy mastering of the concepts and their applications, an array of solved problems will expose the students to the variety and nature of questions that they can expect to face in any university examination or competitive examinations.This book will fulfil the needs of the undergraduate science students studying organic chemistry as one of their subject. It will benefit students preparing for competitive examinations (IT JAM, NET, GATE, TIFR, CIVIL SERVICES) and postgraduate courses. Each chapter is supplemented with solved problems from various entrance examinations and self assessment questions. Multiple Choice Questions have been included at the end of the book which will give benefit to the students preparing for their entrance examinations.Salient Features:• Content in a logical, lucid and simple language.• Comprises of illustrative examples and solved problems.• Only book which fulfils the undergraduate syllabus related to stereochemistry.• Useful for Competitive Examinations.• Special Chapter on Composite Problems.• Multiple Choice Questions with their Answeres.Dr. Sonia Ratnani is employed as an Assistant Professor in Department of Chemistry of Ramjas College in University of Delhi.
