2. Mirror Image Transition States

   Linked via "rearrangement"

   Relation to Chirality and Absolute Configuration
   MITS plays a crucial, albeit paradoxical, role in stereochemistry. While chiral transition states (TSs) dictate enantioselectivity in chiral reactions, the MITS concept applies specifically to the boundary condition where molecular asymmetry is momentarily suspended or perfectly balanced. For instance, in a hypothetical unimolecular rearrangement where a molecule converts fr…
