Basic principles of organic chemistry are discussed here. The blog consists of topics such as Organic synthesis, Reaction mechanism, Named reactions, Stereochemistry & Spectroscopy, IUPAC nomenclature of organic compounds and Practical organic chemistry.
In this article we will learn about what is Racemic mixture? and Resolution of racemic mixture.
Key words : Racemic Mixture, Resolution, Enantiomers, Optical activity.
A Racemic mixture or racemate is a combination of qual amount of enantiomers of chiral compound. The enantiomers are the type of isomers of chiral compound which are optical active, however racemic mixture is optically inactive.
In this article we will learn about Types of Pericyclic reactions. In organic chemistry, a pericyclic reaction is a chemical reaction where the reaction proceeds through concerted mechanism and it has cyclic transition state.
