Carbon atoms that have four nonidentical substituents are referred to as asymmetric carbon atoms. Asymmetric carbon are specific examples of a stereogenic center.

In other words a carbon atom that has four different elements or compounds bonded to its a stereogenic center.

How can one identify a stereogenic center in a molecule?

A stereogenic center in a molecule can be identified by looking for a carbon atom that is bonded to four different groups. This carbon atom is called a chiral center, and it is the key feature that makes a molecule chiral.


How many steriogenic centers in glyceraldehyde?

Glyceraldehyde has one stereogenic center, which is the carbon atom bonded to four different groups. It exists in two enantiomeric forms based on the arrangement of these groups around the stereogenic center.


How can one determine the stereogenic centers in a molecule?

Stereogenic centers in a molecule can be determined by identifying carbon atoms that are bonded to four different groups. These carbon atoms are called chiral centers and are the stereogenic centers in the molecule.


Stereochemistry question... 2-bromobutane I have a molecule 2-bromobutane CH3CH2CHBrCH3 I'm trying to figure out its optical activity by finding a stereogenic center. What I'm confused about is?

In 2-bromobutane, the carbon atom bonded to the bromine atom (CHBrCH3) is the stereogenic center. To determine its optical activity, you need to analyze if there is a plane of symmetry or a center of symmetry within the molecule. If the molecule is chiral (lacks a plane of symmetry or center of symmetry), it will be optically active.


How much chiral carbon does tetracycline have?

The number of chiral center of tetracycline is 5 .. there are 5 chiral carbons.If there is confusion about the 25=32 Remark, the previous writer was using the equation- 2 to the power of n= then the number of possible stereoisomers, where n is the number of stereogenic centers, hence 2 to the power of 5 is 32.


Why all anomers are epimers but all epimers are not anomers?

Epimers are two diastereomers that differ at one stereogenic center (a chiral carbon). An anomer is is an epimer that is created after cyclization.-that is the new sterogenic center is created by a cyclization reaction.Added:This above might be true, but is an answer to the OTHER question:'Why all anomers are epimers but notall epimers are anomers'in stead of the original question:'Why all anomers are epimers but allepimers are not anomers'This origional is not fully logic when the ambiguous word 'all' is wrongly interpreted.


What is noroozi's rule about absolute configuration?

A useful rule for the specifying of absolute configuration of allenes alkylidenecycloalkanes and other organic complex systems The Noroozi Rule is useful method for the specifying of absolute configuration of allenes, spiranes, alkylidenecycloalkanes, hexahelicenes, biphenyles and trans-cyclooctenes. see URL: chem.sci.utsunomiya-u.ac.jp/v9n1/noroozi/noroozi.pdf


Racemic mixtures and meso compounds?

A racemic mixture contains equal amounts of two enantiomers, resulting in no overall optical activity. In contrast, a meso compound is a molecule with chiral centers but possesses an internal plane of symmetry, making it optically inactive despite having stereogenic centers.
