QUESTION:
Draw a three-dimensional structure for each compound, and star all asymmetric carbon atoms. Draw the mirror image for each structure, and state whether you have drawn a pair of enantiomers or just the same molecule twice. Build molecular models of any of these examples that seem difficult to you.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 10
Enantiomers contain one or multiple chiral centers and the pair appears as mirror images but are non-superimposable. Diastereomers are neither mirror images non-superimposable.
