Drawing Stereochemical Symbols

---

ChemDraw provides three types of stereochemical flags that indicate that the molecule with which they are associated represents one of the following:

• Racemic-A racemic mixture.
• Absolute-A pure enantiomer of known configuration.
• Relative-A pure enantiomer of unknown configuration.

The font and size for stereochemical flags is determined by the default Atom Label size for the document.

To draw a stereochemical flag:

1. On the Query tools palette, click the tool for the flag you want to use.

2. Position the pointer next to the structure to which you want to assign the flag.

3. Click to deposit the symbol.
