Learning outcomes - after studying this topic, you should be able to:

• identify stereogenic centres in organic molecules
• distinguish between different types of isomers, including enantiomers and diastereomers
• use (R)- and (S)- descriptors to describe enantiomers and identify if a compouind has (R)- or (S)- stereochemistry
