Question

Dynamic stereochemistry helps in correlating conformation and reactivity and in stereoselective synthesis.

(a) True

(b) False

I have been asked this question during an online interview.

My enquiry is from Stereoselectivity and Stereospecificity in section Structure and Stereostructure of Molecules of Engineering Chemistry I

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) True

For explanation I would say: Dynamic stereochemistry helps in correlating conformation and reactivity and in stereoselective synthesis. Stereoselectivity is the property of a chemical reaction in which a single reactant forms an unequal mixture of stereo isomers during the non-stereo specific creation of a new stereo center
