2.7 Stereoisomers, The Discovery of Enantiomers
Topic Summary: Pasteur was able to make crystals of individual enantiomers of Sodium ammonium tartarate and observed the effect solutions of the individual enantiomers had upon plane polarized light. Each enantiomer caused rotation of the light to the same extent … Read More

Course4.6 Determination of Priorities, Cahn Ingold Prelog (CIP). Rings with Auxiliary Stereodescriptors
Topic Summary: The consequence for theoretically opening up a ring and terminating with a ghost atom before priority analysis can modify stereochemistry present when compared to the actual closed ring system. Auxiliary stereodecriptors Raux or Saux are temporary descriptors that are not … Read More
