Expert Solution
Step 1

The importance of ring strain was proposed by the scientist Adolf von Baeyer and is called Baeyer strain theory and recieved nobel prize for it. 

Louis Pasteur separated crystals of tartaric acid and discovered the dextrorotatory and levorotatory ( enantiomers ) forms of tartaric acid. 

' CIP Rule ' was put forward by three scientists Rober Sidney Cahn, Christopher Kelk Ingold and Vladimir Prelog to assign configuration to organic compounds. 

The fischer projection was proposed by Emil fischer. It is a two dimensional way of representation of organic molecules, particularly used in the field of biochemistry.
