What is racemisation

The process of making a racemic mixture

New cards

How can you convert from one enantiomer to the other

You can interconvert between one enantiomer to the other via their keto-enol tautomer with is flat and a chiral in comparison to the enantiomer

3
New cards

Explain why enantiomer can have such different effects on the body

As although they have identical physical properties, when they’re not in isolation they have different interactions between different molecules (generates diastereomeric complexes ) which is important as diasteroisomers have different physical properties

4
New cards

What are epimers

When a diasteroisomer differs at only one stereogenic centre
