question 37

Multiple Choice

Many of the reactions studied in this chapter are stereospecific.Why are stereospecific reactions important?

• A)When a reaction produces a mixture of enantiomers,it is often very difficult to separate them.A mixture of products is often not useful.
• B)Often stereoisomers of a particular compound will have very different biological effects on an organism.Only one isomer is biologically helpful,and the other may be harmful.
• C)Often only one stereoisomer is biologically active,and coupling reactions are often used for the production of biological materials.
• D)All of the choices are true.
