You came across an article debating the use of Prevacid® vs. Nexium®. While both drugs have the same therapeutic effect, one is sold as a racemate and the other is sold as a single enantiomer. Previous medications such as Thalidomide and Advair® have sparked a debate about the safety of drugs sold as a racemate. 3. What is an enantiomer? Give example
Two stereoisomers are obtained from the reaction of cyclopentene oxide and dimethylamine. The R,R-isomer is used in the manufacture of eclanamine,an antidepressant. What other isomer is obtained?
