Stereochemistry and Organic Chemistry

Drug Stereochemistry

Stereochemistry is the study of the static and dynamic aspects of the three-dimensional shapes of molecules. It has long provided a foundation for understanding organic structure and reactivity. At the same time, stereochemistry constitutes an intrinsically interesting research field in its own right. Many chemists find this area of study fascinating due simply to the aesthetic beauty associated with use of chemical structures, and the intriguing ability to combine the fields of geometry, topology, and chemistry in the study of three-dimensional shapes. In addition, there are extremely important practical ramifications of stereochemistry
