ganic Chemistry I
d. Enantiomers: Enantiomers are stereoisomers that are non-superimposable
mirror images. They can have one or more asymmetric carbons, but the
absolute configuration at all stereocenters is flipped in its enantiomer. Let's
begin with visualizing the enantiomers of molecules containing just one
stereocenter.

draw the enantiomer of each compound.
