Biphenyls & Optical Isomerism: When Planes Matter

9th - Higher Ed
Biphenyls are compounds consisting of two benzene rings connected by a single bond. In certain biphenyls, bulky substituents on the ortho positions of the rings can prevent free rotation around the bond, locking the rings in different...

Practice Problem: IUPAC Nomenclature and Stereochemistry

9th - Higher Ed
For this one we will have to be able to interpret IUPAC nomenclature to draw molecular structure, including absolute configuration using the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog convention.
