I was learning about chirality in my organic chemistry class when we were talking about meso compounds. The professor stated that for a compound to be meso, you needed there to be two or more chiral centers. After thinking about it for a while, I can come up with abstract structures for meso compounds with 2, 4, ..., 2n chiral centers, but can't come up with one that has 2n+1 chiral centers. Is it possible to have a compound with an odd number of chiral centers that is meso?
