Stereoregulaarisuus
Stereoregulaarisuus refers to the arrangement of atoms or groups of atoms in a molecule in three-dimensional space, specifically concerning their relative positions. It is a crucial concept in chemistry, particularly in organic chemistry and stereochemistry, as different stereoisomers of a molecule can exhibit vastly different physical, chemical, and biological properties. Understanding stereoregulaarisuus is essential for predicting reaction outcomes, designing new molecules, and comprehending biological processes.
Molecules with the same connectivity of atoms but different spatial arrangements are called stereoisomers. There are
The presence of stereocenters, typically chiral carbon atoms (carbon atoms bonded to four different groups), is
