  2. Topicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topicity

    Enantiotopic groups are identical and indistinguishable except in chiral environments. For instance, the CH 2 hydrogens in ethanol (CH 3 CH 2 OH) are normally enantiotopic, but can be made different (diastereotopic) if combined with a chiral center, for instance by conversion to an ester of a chiral carboxylic acid such as lactic acid, or if coordinated to a chiral metal center, or if ...

  3. Vicinal (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicinal_(chemistry)

    For example, the molecule 2,3-dibromobutane carries two vicinal bromine atoms and 1,3-dibromobutane does not. Mostly, the use of the term vicinal is restricted to two identical functional groups.

    2-Bromopentane [1] (chiral) 3-Bromopentane; There are four isomers of monobromopentane based on 2-methylbutane: 1-Bromo-2-methylbutane (chiral) 1-Bromo-3-methylbutane; 2-Bromo-2-methylbutane; 2-Bromo-3-methylbutane (chiral) 2,2-Dimethylpropane has only one monobrominated derivative, 1-bromo-2,2-dimethylpropane, also known as neopentyl bromide.

  5. Tacticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacticity

    If a diad consists of units oriented in opposition, the diad is called an r diad (formerly racemo diad, as in a racemic compound, now proscribed [3]). In the case of vinyl polymer molecules, an m diad is one in which the substituents are oriented on the same side of the polymer backbone; in the Natta projection, they both point into the plane ...

  6. Newman projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newman_projection

    A Newman projection is a drawing that helps visualize the 3-dimensional structure of a molecule. [1] This projection most commonly sights down a carbon-carbon bond, making it a very useful way to visualize the stereochemistry of alkanes.

  7. 2,3-Butanediol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,3-Butanediol

    2,3-Butanediol is the organic compound with the formula (CH 3 CHOH) 2. It is classified as a vic -diol ( glycol ). It exists as three stereoisomers, a chiral pair and the meso isomer.

    Bennu's icy parent body, perhaps about 60 miles (100 km) in diameter, appears to have formed in the outer solar system and was later destroyed, possibly 1-2 billion years ago.

  9. 2-Bromobutane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-Bromobutane

    2-Bromobutane is an isomer of 1-bromobutane. Both compounds share the molecular formula C 4 H 9 Br. 2-Bromobutane is also known as sec-butyl bromide or methylethylbromomethane. Because it contains bromine, a halogen, it is part of a larger class of compounds known as alkyl halides. It is a colorless liquid with a pleasant odor.
