In summary, a Meso Syn Reaction is a type of organic reaction used to create complex molecules by combining two identical molecules. Stereochemistry is the study of the 3D arrangement of atoms in molecules and is important in understanding their properties. A Meso compound is a molecule with chiral centers but is optically inactive due to an internal plane of symmetry. Product B is the result of a Meso Syn Reaction and can either be a meso compound or contain chiral centers. The presence of an internal plane of symmetry can be used to determine if Product B is a meso compound.
