How do you identify Enantiotopic protons?
Replacing one proton gives one enantiomer and replacing the other gives its mirror image. They are distinct only in chiral environments (e.g., enzymes, chiral solvents).

Start Practicing NowDoes the presence of a Center of Symmetry (COS) or Plane of Symmetry (POS) guarantee optical inactivity?
True or False: A molecule must have a chiral carbon to be chiral.
Under what condition is an allene ( ) chiral?
What prevents rotation in chiral Biphenyls (Atropisomerism)?
Why are simple chiral amines (like ) not optically active at room temperature?
