Enantiomer
mirror images of each other and they cannot be superimposed
Achiral
can be superimposed and doesn’t have optical isomers
Optical isomers
light
Optically active - they rotate plane polarised light
one entantiomer rotates in a clockwise direction, the other rotates the same amount in opposite direction
Polyamide
Dicarboxylic acid and diamine
Polyester
Dicarboxylic acid and diol
Cyanide and carbonyl type of reaction
Nucleophilic addition`
Nitrile to primary amine
reduce using LiAlH4 and dilute acid
