Exploration of Differentiating Diastereomers and their Properties

Abstract

Diastereomers are stereochemical isomers that share the same molecular formula but differ in the spatial arrangement of atoms. This paper aims to elucidate the concept of diastereomers and delve into their distinctive properties. Beginning with a fundamental definition of diastereomers and their classification, this study outlines various methods for distinguishing between diastereomeric compounds, including molecular modeling, spectroscopic techniques, and chromatography. Understanding the subtle differences in their configurations is crucial for elucidating their distinct chemical behaviors. Furthermore, the paper explores the significance of diastereomers in various fields such as organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and natural product chemistry. Through case studies and examples,
