Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The chiral center and enantiomers of methamphetamine molecules should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Organic compounds are the compounds that are mainly composed of C and H atoms. The branch of chemistry that deals with preparation, reactions, and properties of organic compounds is said to be the
Constitutional isomers can be defined as the pair of molecules with the same molecular formula but different structural formula. Stereoisomers have same molecular and structural formula but have different arrangement of atoms in the three-dimensional space.
Optical isomers are type of stereoisomers which have same molecular and structural formula but have different arrangement of atoms in the three-dimensional space. The essential condition for a molecule to be optical isomer is the presence of chiral carbon atom.
