    This document discusses examples of optical isomers found in day-to-day life. It provides examples of chiral centers and enantiomers of amino acids and other organic compounds. Specifically, it discusses the L and D enantiomers of alanine and asparagine, and how they have different biological effects. It also discusses the R and S enantiomers of epinephrine and 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol, and how one enantiomer can be beneficial while the other causes harmful effects like kidney damage.
