|
Max number of stereo centers |
Less or equal to 2^n Where n = # of stereo centers |

|
Meso compound |
Superimoposable on thier mirror image Are achiral because they have a plane of symetry Optically inactive |
|
|
Resolution |
Separation of a racemic mixture Into 2 enantiomers To do so convert enantiomers into diastereomers which have different physical properties |
|
|
Racemate racemic mixture |
50/50 enantiemers optically inactive |

|
Meso line of symetry |
If there exists a line of symetry it is a meso compound that is superimposable on its mirror image Easier to see not in chair or boat (cyclohexane) |
