QUESTION:
a. Which of the following compounds have enantiotopic hydrogens?
b. Which have diastereotopic hydrogens?
ANSWER:
Solution 33P
If a carbon atom is bonded to two hydrogen atoms and two different groups in the compounds, then that two hydrogens are known as enantiotopic hydrogens. These hydrogens are chemically equivalent.
If a carbon atom is bonded to two hydrogen atoms with an asymmetric center then that two hydrogens are known as diastereotopic hydrogens. These hydrogens are not chemically equivalent.
