Question
Chapter 15, Problem 45P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The facts related to the “existence of enantiomeric forms in given substituted biphenyl compounds” are to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Biphenyl is a compound in which two benzene rings are joined by a single bond.
In biphenyls, two benzene rings are present at two different axes, not including the axis of symmetry.
The substituted biphenyl compounds exist in the enantiomeric forms due to lack of plane of symmetry.
