If I have a chiral substrate, should I always assume that both enantiomers are present?
Considering the Sn1 reaction of (S)-2,3-dimethyl-3-pentanol, knowing that this molecule has a chiral carbon, should I always assume that both enantiomers are present, and therefore the products of a ...

What does the “D” group represent on a chiral center?
I am trying to figure out the configuration for this chiral carbon to answer a homework question, however they arbitrarily include a "D" group as shown in the image. My guess is that it is some higher ...

Is there a simple way to get the circular dichroism of a molecule from it's structure?
Are there any heuristics to get the relative absorbtion of left and right circularly polarized light by a molecule from its molecular structure? Is it even possible to predict which polarization is ...
