Is 3,4-diethylhexane a meso compound?
Ella AllenSince 3,4-diethylhexane has two asymmetric carbons, it should have four enantiomers. However, because a plane of symmetry passes through the molecule between carbons 3 and 4, the enantiomers are reduced to three. This is because the 3(S),4(R) isomer is identical to the 3(R),4(S) isomer.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
