Chiral Ring Structures

AI Thread Summary

To find chiral centers in ring structures, one must identify carbon atoms that are bonded to four different substituents. The discussion highlights that this is a fundamental concept in stereochemistry, often covered in various tutorials and textbooks. It emphasizes the importance of utilizing available resources for learning rather than expecting detailed explanations in forums. Understanding the basic criteria for chirality is crucial for accurately calculating the number of chiral centers in any given molecular structure.

Have you tried to google for an answer?

This is a very basic question, with many tutorials, both on the web and in textbooks. Do you really expect us to repeat things that were told in other places?

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...

Thread 'Resists for etching Aluminium with NaOH'

I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
