“Foundations of Organic Chemistry” S:1 E:6 Stereochemistry – Molecular Handedness

S:1 E:6 Stereochemistry – Molecular Handedness Make sense of a crucial concept in organic chemistry: the handedness of molecules, or, as chemists call it, “chirality.” Topics include the definition of chiral tetrahedral centers; the creation of stereoisomer sets via inversion of handedness; and intriguing examples of stereoisomers (including enantiomers and double-bonded stereoisomers) and their unique chiral centers.
