A Racemic mixture is one in which the two enantomers are present in equal amounts.
1 of 6
diastereoisomer
A diastereoisomer is a stereoisomer which is not an enantiomer.
2 of 6
Enantiomer
An enantiomer is one of a pair of non-superimposable mirror image forms of a molecule
3 of 6
Meso Compound
A meso compound is an achiral member of a set of diastereoisomers of which at least one is chiral
4 of 6
Enantiomeric excess (ee)
Enantiomeric excess (ee) is the percent excess of one enantiomer over the racemate ee = |%R - %S|
5 of 6
Stereospecific reaction
A stereospecific reaction is one whose mechanism requires that a specific stereochemistry of product arises from a specific stereochemistry of starting material
