Question:

Fischer also carried out the following pair of conversions. Again, no bonds to the asymmetric carbon were broken. Explain why this pair of conversions (but not either one alone) and the associated optical activities rule out pyramidal geometry at the asymmetric carbon, but are consistent with tetrahedral geometry.COH H3C-C CONH T CH5 optically active OH T H3C-C-CONH CH5 optically active several steps several steps OH T
