Talk:Nor-

nor amino acid query (valine/norvaline, etc.)

So far, so good - the definition seems clear. However, how about the valine- norvaline pair? or leucine vs. norleucine? In these molecules CH2 group seems not to be replaced by hydrogen, but moves so, that the chain is no more branched. So is there any rule general enough to cover both cases?

New nor structure example added

…but needs attention of a more experienced editor, in re: position relative to the other examples. Note, this nor-homo example is complex, but it must serve at present, until an example pair of structures can be found where a ring is contracted relative to another known substance. (Here, one ring is contracted, while the adjacent is expanded.) In any case, it is critically important to make clear that the "nor" can indicate removal of atoms from within rings (and not just peripheral methyl groups).
