Question
Chapter 4.13, Problem 23P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
It is to be determined whether the optically inactive form of tartaric acid studied by Pasteur could have been meso-tartatic acid.
Concept introduction:
A chiral compound contains at least one carbon which is bonded to four different atoms or groups.
A chiral compound does not have any elements of symmetry.
Molecules containing two identical chiral centers can be achiral.
A molecule containing two or more equivalent chiral centers and an internal plane of symmetry is called a meso isomer or compound.
Meso compounds are optically inactive.
