How to Draw Enantiomers, Diastereomers & Meso Forms From a Molecule with More Than One Chiral Center
An enantiomer is a chiral molecule whose mirror image is not superimposable. A diasteromer is a stereoisomer that is not an mirror image and is not superimposable. A meso compound is a molecule that appears to have multiple chiral centers but also contains an internal mirror plane of symmetry. If you draw the mirror image of a meso compound you will be able to superimpose it onto the original molecule. In this video I will show you how draw the entaniomers of a chiral molecule and I will demonstrate how the absolute stereochemistry of one enantiomer is the opposite of the other enantiomer. In this video I will also show you how to draw diastereomers and apply the 2 to the n rule to determine how many potential stereoisomers a molecue could have. In this video I will also show you how to handle meso forms (meso compounds).
This video is part of a series called How to be Successful in Organic Chemistry. It this series I go over numerous problems that a student could expect to see in there organic chemistry 1 course. Doing organic chemistry practice problems will make you more successful in organic chemistry and biochemistry.
I recommend that you download the problem from the link below and attempt the problem yourself and use this video to correct your work.
