Conformations with respect to ethane, butane and cyclohexane. Interconversion of Wedge Formula, Newmann, Sawhorse and Fischer representations. Concept of chirality (upto two carbon atoms). Configuration : Geometrical and Optical isomerism; Enantiomerism, Diastereomerism and Meso compounds). Threo and erythro; D and L; cis – trans nomenclature; CIP Rules: R/S (for upto 2 chiral carbon atoms) and E/ZNomenclature (for upto two C = C systems).

(Practical : 1 Credit)

  1. Preparation and standardization of solutions.
  2. Permangnatometry / dichromatry.
  3. Acidimetry / Alkalimetry.
  • Organic Practical : Detection of elements, separation and purification of Organic Compounds.

The CIA examination in Practical should be just as Mock test and it must be on the Pattern of proper 3hrs End-semester Examination.
