Title: Stereochemistry - "periplanar" ?
Post by: student101 on July 29, 2019, 03:51:22 PM

I have a question, it might sound dumb, but i'm genuinely confused.

I understand what antiperiplanar means and syn-periplanar. But what does just "periplanar" mean?

Thanks in advance.

Describing a torsion angle between 0° and 30° (syn-), or between 150° and 180° (anti-)
