This document discusses various aspects of stereochemistry. It begins by explaining Fischer's D and L notation system for assigning configurations based on a compound's relation to glyceraldehyde. It then discusses pseudo asymmetric centers in meso compounds and cis-trans isomerism that can occur due to restricted bond rotation around double bonds. Finally, it introduces the E-Z system for naming geometric isomers with three or more different groups, which is based on Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules to determine whether higher priority groups are on the same or opposite sides of the double bond.
