Organic Chemistry Volume 2 : Stereochemistry and the Chemistry Natural Products

Organic chemistry is an important sub-discipline of Chemistry that involves the study of the properties, structure and reactions of organic materials. Stereochemistry or 3D Chemistry studies the spatial arrangements of the atoms in molecules and its effects on the physical and chemical properties of substances. Stereochemistry and the Chemistry of natural products applies the principles of Organic Chemistry.

The second volume of Organic Chemistry : Stereochemistry And The Chemistry Of Natural Products (Volume -2) gives the readers advanced and in-depth knowledge of the topics discussed in the first volume. Beginning with the relationship between chemical structures and physical properties, the author goes on to discuss other topics related to Stereochemistry and the Chemistry of Natural Products in detail.

The book is divided into 19 sections and offers comprehensive coverage of many topics like the Physical properties and Chemical Constitution, Stereochemistry of Biphenyl Compounds, Optical Isomerism, Carbohydrates, Steroids and Terpenoids. The first chapter begins with The International System of Units, Van der Waals forces, Melting and Boiling points, Viscosity, Solubility, Molecular rotation, Electron spin resonance, Mass Spectrometry, X-ray Diffraction, and Raman Spectra.
