Classifying compounds as meso or non-meso requires understanding their structure and symmetry. Meso compounds, while possessing chiral centers, are achiral due to an internal plane of symmetry. This ...

In organic chemistry, identifying meso compounds is a critical skill for understanding stereochemistry and molecular properties. A meso compound is a molecule that contains chiral centers but is ...

Over the course of developing a multigram scale preparation of epoxy quinol 1 via asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) using the Noyori Ru(arene)(S,S-TsDPEN) catalysts, we observed several ...
