enantiomers chircal carbon
« on: April 19, 2010, 12:25:28 AM »
- Since enatiomers are not possible in double bonds.
does this mean these types of stereo isomer are also not possible in rings?

It depends on size of ring

Certain allenes (compounds with cumulative double bonds) are chiral. They do show optical activity.
