Part 7: Stereogenic carbons and Stereoisomerism

Learning Goals:
Molecular Models: It is very important that you get out your molecular models and make 3-D models of, for instance, the simple R & S enantiomeric pairs described in the readings, pencasts and video lectures, so that you can convince yourself that they are not "conformable", and become comfortable with the 3-dimensionality expressed by wedge structures and by Fischer structures.
Reading: Soderberg sections on chirality, labeling chiral centers, optical rotations, molecules with multiple chiral centers, and meso compounds.
Notes: Review the pencasts* below. (*-Audio from old pencasts does not work. Ignore the warning about needing to update to latest Adobe Reader - see note in first topic).
