Asked by jen

why do S+carvone (caraway oil) and R-carvone (spearamint oil) have the same IR spectra. I know they are enantiomers/mirror images but why the same IR
Answered by DrBob222
What does an IR spectrum tell you? It tells you functional groups and what chains are attached. It can't tell you the 3-D arrangement, at least not in most cases that I know of.
