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

• Chapter 17 (in Blackman, Bottle, Schmid, Mocerino and Wille, Chemistry, 3^rd Edition, 2015 (John Wiley))

• Stereochemistry (in Wikibooks Organic Chemistry)
• Chirality (in ChemWiki)
• How to draw Fischer projections (in ChemWiki)
