  Weblink 14.4 View and rotate the molecules shown in Fig. 14.26

Back to Chapter 14 | Back to Chapter-by-Chapter List

In 1,3-dichloroallene the end CHCl groups cannot rotate indendently of one another so the molecule is chiral.

In the substituted biphenyl the large Br and Cl atoms prevent rotation about the central C–C bond, so this molecule is also chiral.
