Stereocenters
Yesterday was a day to learn about stereocenters. In organic chemistry, that essentially means a carbon with four different substituents attached to it. We was in class that such a carbon is not superimposable upon its mirror image -- we termed these things enantiomers. We also learned how to use the R and S descriptors for identifying the stereochemistry at a carbon center.
