舧 The molecules that are nonsuperimposable or not identical with their mirror images are known as chiral molecules.
舧 A pair of two mirror images that are nonidentical is known as enantiomers, which are optically active.
舧 The stereoisomers that are nonsuperimposable on each other and not mirror images of each other are known as diastereomers.
舧 The achiral compounds in which plane of symmetry is present internally and consists of chiral centres are known as meso compounds, but they are optically inactive.
舧 Compounds that have a plane of symmetry tend to exist in meso forms. A meso form arises when the two stereoisomers produce superimposable images, and hence, compounds having meso forms are optically inactive.
舧 The Kiliani-Fischer reaction is used for increasing the number of carbon atoms of the respective aldoses, thereby, lengthening the carbon chain of the compound. It is an effective and economic process for synthesizing monosaccharides through the hydrolysis of a cyanohydrin. Thus, it lengthens the carbon chain of the aldose by one carbon atom. It is used to produce epimers of higher aldoses from a lower aldose, that is, a single aldose produces a mixture of two diastereomeric sugars called epimers.

- Aldohexoses A and B both undergo Ruff degradation to give aldopentose C. On treatment with warm nitric acid, aldopentose C gives an optically active aldaric acid. B alsoreacts with warm nitric acid to give an optically active aldaric acid, but A reacts to givean optically inactive aldaric acid. Aldopentose C is degraded to aldotetrose D, whichgives optically active tartaric acid when it is treated with nitric acid. Aldotetrose D isdegraded to (+)@glyceraldehyde.
