The present book describes the applications of the principles of stereochemistry in organic reactions (called dynamic stereochemistry). The stereochemical aspects of substitution, addition, elimination (including fragmentations) reactions and rearrangements are discussed in a most systematic way. The application of the allylic strains, I-strain, alkyl ketone effects, anomeric effect, etc., are illustrated with numerous examples. An introduction to different approaches to the stereoselective reactions are given. Double stereodifferentiation - matched and mismatched pair of reactants - is also discussed at an elementary level. Intramolecular reactions including those involving the application of tethers, and transannular reactions are discussed. Different stereoselective synthetic methods for the olefins are discussed and summarised. A separate chapter on pericyclic reactions that are highly stereospecific in nature is presented. Problems (including multiple choice questions as well) are given in the exercises of each chapter and their solution is given at the end. Appendix II is totally devoted to MCQ. The teaching and learning of this subject are the main purpose of the book.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Sudhir Chandra Pal received his PhD from Calcutta University, India, in 1982 and taught Chemistry at Midnapore College, India, starting from 1978. He served as the first coordinator of the Postgraduate section (introduced in 2006) and headed the Chemistry Department from 2008 until his retirement in 2012. His doctoral and post-doctoral research focused on the isolation, characterisation, and synthesis of natural products, resulting in ten published papers with Professor Avijit Banerji between 1977 and 1984. Post-2006, his independent research centred on synthetic methodologies and multi-component reactions, leading to ten publications and two PhD awards from Vidyasagar University, India. He organised an international symposium on organic chemistry research in 2011. After retirement, he taught as a guest lecturer at various colleges and universities. He has authored three books: 'Nomenclature of Organic Compounds', and 'Essentials of Chemistry", Vol. 1 and 2.
