The Reason for Handedness in Molecules: Chirality 2-Methylcyclohexanone Chiral because C2 is bonded to four different groups:a- CH3 group,an-H atom,a -COCH2-ring bond (C1)and a-CH2CH2-ring bond (C3) Has no plane of symmetry 2-Methylcyclohexanone (chiral)2-Methylcyclohexanone ▪ Chiral because C2 is bonded to four different groups: a – CH3 group, an –H atom, a –COCH2– ring bond (C1) and a –CH2CH2– ring bond (C3) ▪ Has no plane of symmetry The Reason for Handedness in Molecules: Chirality
