Pseudo-asymmetric carbon atom

Japanese: 擬不斉炭素原子 - ぎふせいたんそげんし
Pseudo-asymmetric carbon atom

…The central carbon atom of the trihydroxyglutaric acid isomer (formula c) appears to be an asymmetric carbon atom (H, OH, and two CH(OH)COOH groups with different configurations), but the molecule has a symmetric plane, making it optically inactive. This phenomenon is called pseudo-asymmetric, and this type of asymmetric carbon atom is called a pseudo-asymmetric carbon atom. Optical isomerism [Takeuchi Takato]. …
