Question
Chapter 6, Problem 6.54AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the fact that the pair of conversion carried out by Fisher from optically active starting material to optically inactive product is inconsistent with pyramidal geometry at the asymmetric carbon but consistent with tetrahedral geometry is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
An atom that has four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as the chiral atom. Chiral centers are also called asymmetric or stereogenic centers. The chiral atom sometimes results in the formation of enantiomers which are the non-superimposable mirror images of each other.
