nancy9494 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Hello, Im confused are these diasteriomers or enantiomers? A peer said they were enantiomers, but i only can see the possible products as diasteriomers of each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypervalent_iodine Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Could be clearer about which structures you mean? Diastereomers are compounds that differ in some but not all of their stereocentres, whereas enantiomers differ in all of them. So, if you had a pair of compounds that were (R)(R)(S) and (S)(S)(R), these would be enantiomers. However, the same compound with (R)(S)(R) centres would be a diastereomer of both of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancy9494 Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 oh thanks for checking it out. turns out the GSI didn't know what they were talking about and if anyone was wondering they are diastereomers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
