Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.41P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Whether it is possible for a meso compound to contain three chiral centers is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
A compound can be meso if its molecule contains two or more chiral centers and a plane of symmetry.
A plane of symmetry bisects the molecule into two halves such that they are mirror images of each other.
The two chiral centers that do not lie on the plane of symmetry must have identical substituents.
