STEREOCHEMISTRY CONFORMATIONAL ANALYSIS

As we know that stereochemistry mainly deals with the different special arrangements of substituent’s around carbon in space, which involves the conformations and configurations of the molecule.

Conformation of a molecule is related to rotation, which in turn associated with an energy barrier. The lower the rate, higher the barrier.

Applications of stereochemistry in industries and research fields.
