Isomerism in Organic Compounds

Since the knowledge of isomerism is essential for understanding the course of Organic chemistry, study of isomerism now forms an essential part of the Organic chemistry courses in all the Universities. This book is intended for students at the graduate and postgraduate level. Due to simple style, students at all levels can get benefits from this book The book covers the conventional and the most important topics on isomerism. The book consists of 4 chapters. All topics have been selected with great care keeping in mind the needs of the students. Certain topics which are generally discussed in introductory books are excluded. The firstchapter provides a vivid introduction to the basic concepts. The remaining chapters are devoted to a discussion of specific reactions. Chapter 1 introduces the isomerism in organic compounds. Chapters 2, 3 and 4 provide information regarding the stereochemistry of the reaction. Each chapter concludes with a set of questions.
