A chemical compound that is the stereoisomer or counterpart of benzaldoxime, used in organic chemistry and synthesis.
From anti- (against, but here meaning 'opposite stereoisomer') + benzaldoxime (benzaldehyde + oxime). This is highly technical chemistry terminology created in the 20th century when scientists studied molecular stereoisomerism.
In chemistry, 'anti' and 'syn' describe how atoms are arranged in 3D space—antibenzaldoxime has its groups pointing in opposite directions compared to the 'syn' version! It's like having left-handed and right-handed versions of the same molecule.
