optical isomerism in biphenyl compounds

Stereoisomerism in biphenyl compounds, condition for biphenyl compounds to exhibit optical activity(1)

Stereoisomerism in biphenyl compounds Biphenyl is an aromatic hydrocarbon with a molecular formula (C6H5)2, consists of two connected phenyl ring. Due to lack of formation of groups, it is unreactive in nature. (The two phenyl groups are linked by a single bond sp2 known as pivotal bond). Biphenyl does not show geometrical isomerism, its show … Read more

Stereoisomerism Stereoisomerism is a form of isomerism in which molecules have the same molecular formula and same structural formula but different in arrangement of atoms in a space. It is also defined as the particular kind of isomers that are different from each other only in the way the atoms are oriented in a space. … Read more
