Organic chemistry: Drawing enantiomers
Description
Enantiomers are stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images, meaning that one enantiomer will be the mirror image of the other enantiomer. In order to draw an enantiomer, you can determine the stereocenter, then swap the two groups attached to the stereocenter.
Organic chemistry
Sal and Jay cover topics covered in college organic chemistry course. Basic understanding of basic high school or college chemistry assumed (although there is some review).
Enantiomers
In this tutorial, we will explore enantiomers, compounds that have the same composition and bonding but are fundamentally different because they are mirror images of each other (kind of like Tomax and Xamot--the Crimson Gua…
