Course content
Principles of organic stereochemistry. Mathematical description of molecules, models. Static stereochemistry: Isomerism, symmetry, conformation, stereochemistry of alicyclic, cyclic, fused and bridged ring systems, chirality, optical activity and optical stereoisomerism, physical and spectral properties of stereoisomers. Dynamic stereochemistry: addition reactions, elimination reactions, substitution reactions, rearrangements, pericyclic reactions. Synthesis of chiral compounds, asymmetric catalysis.
