The book thoroughly explores the principles and characteristics that define stereoisomers. It covers fundamental topics such as symmetry and chirality, absolute and relative configuration, conformations of cyclic and acyclic molecules, stereoisomerism and prostereoisomerism, resolution, and racemisation, all presented in a clear and accessible manner. Numerous illustrations help elucidate these principles, while critical aspects are addressed for a deeper understanding. To engage students, analogies and cartoons are included throughout. Each chapter concludes with exercises featuring short questions and multiple-choice questions, allowing students to test their knowledge and prepare for competitive exams. Solutions to these exercises are provided for further learning and self-assessment.
