how do we check any meso compound???
Dear dimpy,
A meso compound or meso isomer is a chemical compound whose molecules contain 2 or more asymmetric atoms (stereocenters) but is optically inactive (or achiral). Which means that it has no mirror images of each other.
For a compound with multiple asymmetric carbons, the presence of an internal plane of symmetry indicates that the compound is achiral. The cis isomer of cyclooctene is also considered a meso compound. The trans form can be resolved into an enantiomeric pair.
Both C-2 and C-3 are chiral centers, they are sp3 hybridized and they have four different substituants: -H, -CH3, -Br and -CHBrCH3.
Notice that both chiral centers have the same substituants.
In this case, we have the possiblity of stereoisomers called meso compounds.
