    2-Bromopropane, also known as isopropyl bromide and 2-propyl bromide, is the halogenated hydrocarbon with the formula CH 3 CHBrCH 3. It is a colorless liquid. It is a colorless liquid. It is used for introducing the isopropyl functional group in organic synthesis . 2-Bromopropane is prepared by heating isopropanol with hydrobromic acid .

  3. Bicyclic molecule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicyclic_molecule

    A bicyclic molecule (from bi 'two' and cycle 'ring') is a molecule that features two joined rings. [1] Bicyclic structures occur widely, for example in many biologically important molecules like α-thujene and camphor. A bicyclic compound can be carbocyclic (all of the ring atoms are carbons), or heterocyclic (the rings' atoms consist of at ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,2-Dibromopropane

    1,2-Dibromopropane, also known as propylene dibromide, is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 CHBrCH 2 Br. It is the simplest chiral hydrocarbon containing two bromine atoms: ( S )-1,2-Dibrompropane (above) and ( R )-1,2-Dibrompropane (below)

  5. Chirality (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    Chirality (chemistry) Two enantiomers of a generic amino acid that are chiral. (S)-Alanine (left) and (R)-alanine (right) in zwitterionic form at neutral pH. In chemistry, a molecule or ion is called chiral (/ ˈkaɪrəl /) if it cannot be superposed on its mirror image by any combination of rotations, translations, and some conformational ...

  6. Cyclic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_compound

    A cyclic compound(or ring compound) is a term for a compoundin the field of chemistryin which one or more series of atoms in the compound is connected to form a ring. Rings may vary in size from three to many atoms, and include examples where all the atoms are carbon (i.e., are carbocycles), none of the atoms are carbon (inorganic cyclic ...

  7. Chiral drugs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiral_drugs

    Chiral drugs. Chemical compounds that come as mirror-image pairs are referred to by chemists as chiral or handed molecules. [1] Each twin is called an enantiomer. Drugs that exhibit handedness are referred to as chiral drugs. Chiral drugs that are equimolar (1:1) mixture of enantiomers are called racemic drugs and these are obviously devoid of ...

  8. Liquid crystal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_crystal

    The chiral pitch, p, refers to the distance over which the LC molecules undergo a full 360° twist (but note that the structure of the chiral nematic phase repeats itself every half-pitch, since in this phase directors at 0° and ±180° are equivalent). The pitch, p, typically changes when the temperature is altered or when other molecules are ...

  9. Absolute configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_configuration

    In chemistry, absolute configuration refers to the spatial arrangement of atoms within a molecular entity (or group) that is chiral, and its resultant stereochemical description. [1] Absolute configuration is typically relevant in organic molecules where carbon is bonded to four different substituents. This type of construction creates two ...
