Book Review : Textbook Of Environmental Studies For Ugc

Book Review Books Environmental Studies
Text Book on Environmental Studies
This book is a part of initiative taken up by UGC and introduces formal study of the environment in our academic curriculum.Considering the deteriorating state of the environment, and as per direction of  the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, the UGC introduced a basic course on Environmental Studies for undergraduate education.

The Expert Committee appointed by the UGC looked into all the pertinent questions. This was followed by the framing of the Core Module Syllabus for Environmental Studies for undergraduate courses for all branches of Higher Education. This book is the result of this initiative.

Atropisomers

Conformers Restricted Rotation Stereochemical Elucidation

 

IUPAC Atropisomers is defined as following

A subclass of conformers which can be isolated as separate chemical species and which arise from restricted rotation about a single bond, e.g. ortho-substituted biphenyl, 1,1,2,2-tetra-tert-butylethane.

The word atropisomer is derived from the Greek a, meaning not, and tropos, meaning turn. The name was coined by Kuhn in 1933, but atropisomerism was first detected in 6,6’-dinitro-2,2’-diphenic acid by Cristie in 1922.
