Stereochemistry deals with the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in
molecules. All chemical reactions take place three dimensions and the spatial
arrangement of those atoms can have a profound effect on the outcome of a
chemical reaction. A good understanding of stereochemistry is, therefore,
fundamental to any detailed appreciation and study of organic chemistry.
Based on the highly successful "at a Glance" series from Blackwell Publishing,
this book provides a concise introduction and overview of stereochemistry for
students studying chemistry and related courses at undergraduate level. It then
reinforces that overview by presenting 49 fully worked out stereochemistry
problems, presented in the familiar "at a Glance" double
