calculation of no of optical isomers..... Type 1 : when molecule is not divisible into two equal halves and contains 'n' asymmaetric carbon atoms, then no of optically active isomers (a) = 2^n no of meso forms, (m) = 0 no of racemice mixture (r) = a/2 Note : racemice forms will never be included in total no of optical isomers Total no of optical isomers =a + m e.g no of optical active isomers of glucose = total no of isomers of glucose = 2^ 4 =16 Type 2: When molecule is divisble in two equal halves, case (i) if n is even, &n
