One of the two meso isomers of 1,2,3,4-tetrafluorospiropentane, with S 4 symmetry. Since a meso isomer has a superposable mirror image, a compound with a total of n chiral centers cannot attain the theoretical maximum of 2 n stereoisomers if one of the stereoisomers is meso. [4] A meso isomer need not have a mirror plane.
The compound exists as three stereoisomers, a pair of enantiomers and the meso isomer. All are colorless liquids. Preparation and reactions 2,3 ...
However, since all other isomers are meso (non-chiral) compounds, the name myo-inositol is now preferred (myo- being a medical prefix for "muscle"). Inositol was once considered a member of the vitamin B complex, namely vitamin B 8 before the discovery that it is made naturally in the human body, and therefore cannot be a vitamin or essential ...
These include meso compounds, cis–trans isomers, E-Z isomers, and non-enantiomeric optical isomers. Diastereomers seldom have the same physical properties. In the example shown below, the meso form of tartaric acid forms a diastereomeric pair with both levo- and dextro-tartaric acids, which form an enantiomeric pair.
meso-Stilbene dibromide is an organic compound with a formula of (C 6 H 5 CH(Br)) 2. [3] It is one of three isomeric stilbene dibromides, the others being the pair of enantiomers . All are white solids.
Of the three stereoisomers, two are enantiomers (levo- and dextro-2,3-butanediol) and one is a meso compound. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The enantiomeric pair have (2 R , 3 R ) and (2 S , 3 S ) configurations at carbons 2 and 3, while the meso compound has configuration (2 R , 3 S ) or, equivalently, (2 S , 3 R ).
It occurs in two diastereomers, meso and the chiral dl forms. The 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid molecule has two stereocentres (two asymmetric carbon atoms), and can exist as three different stereoisomers. The 2S,3S and 2R,3R isomers are a pair of enantiomers, whereas the 2R,3S isomer (succimer) is a meso compound and thus optically inactive.
