Use this tag for questions relating to organic molecules and their properties (structure of organic molecules, spectroscopic properties, reaction mechanisms, stereochemistry etc). DO NOT use this tag as the only tag in your question, as this tag by itself cannot appropriately classify your question. Always use this tag in addition to other more specific tags.

How and why are all the substituents in methyl cyclopropane eclipsed?
Drawing a Newman projection shows that the H atoms are eclipsed. Due to its shape, cyclopropane can never exist in a staggered conformation. Note that what looks like a double bond is actually the b …

Can the following compound having a centre of symmetry be called both optically inactive and...
You are correct that the molecule is not chiral. It is indeed a meso compound due to the internal symmetry plane. Also, don't worry about free-rotation of single bonds.

Stereochemistry of cycloalkanes having substituents
For a compound to be optically active it must not be superimposable with its mirror image. It's as simple as that. Also note that stereogenic centres are not always required for chirality. There are …

Can the following molecules be called meso compounds (cyclic structures which usually exist ...
These molecules can never be planar. There are no internal symmetry planes and therefore they are not meso.

Direction of arrows in electrocyclic reactions [closed]
We recently started learning about pericyclic reactions and this is a step from a mechanism I'm working on for an assignment. I believe that the arrows on the right are better than the arrows on the l …
