hellomister Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I have a question, is there a way to determine if two things are diastereomers by looking at their R/S configurations at the asymmetric atoms? Because so far I have been just rotating molecules in my head and it is very slow. ty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zellinger Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Yes, you can if know how to determine S and R configurations. Look at definitions for diastereomers and enanthiomers again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plessans Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Yes, the way I figure out if two compounds are diastereomers is if they both have identical stereochemistry except for one of the stereocenters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
