Question
Chapter 5.SE, Problem 28VC
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Of the three compounds represented by the model which is a meso form is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Compounds that are achiral, yet contain chirality centres are called meso compounds. They have a symmetry plan which cuts the molecule to two identical halves such that one half is the mirror image of the other.
To state:
Of the three compounds represented by the models which is a meso form.
