What is the principle behind chemical resolution?
Reacting a racemate with a pure chiral resolving agent to form Diastereomeric salts, which have different physical properties (solubility) and can be separated.

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?
