Is this a meso compound?
« on: October 21, 2018, 04:30:09 PM »
I was watching a video about identifying chiral centers and this was an example. Is this meso (has two stereogenic atoms but is achiral overall because there is plane of symmetry)?
Just wanted to check. Thanks!

Can you enter the molecule directly here?

I coulden't open the link, by the way Some molecules have plane of symmetry but they are not meso
