The Department of Chemistry at the College of Science, University of Kerbala, organized a scientific seminar titled “Stereochemistry in the Diels-Alder Reaction.” The session was delivered by Prof. Dr. Zaid Hassan Aboud and aimed to clarify the components of the reaction and the nature of its products.
The seminar focused on the rules governing the stereochemical outcomes of this important organic reaction, explaining:
When the Diels-Alder reaction exhibits stereoselectivity
When it demonstrates stereospecificity
How chemists can control the stereochemical aspects of the reaction as much as possible
The session provided valuable insights for researchers and students interested in organic synthesis and stereochemistry.
