Modify the above structure to make a model of 1,3-dichloro-1,3-dimethoxypropane CH(OCH3)Cl-CH2-CH(OCH3)CI • Draw the structure you have built. • Clearly showing your workings, assign the configuration at each of the stereogenic centres. Indicate on your drawing the configuration at each of the C stereocentres. • Indicate if the structure you have drawn is an optically active form or a meso form? • If you have drawn the meso-form above, now rebuild and draw an optically active form of 1,3-dichloro-1,3-dimethoxypropane; If you have built an optically active form above, now rebuild and draw the meso-form. Indicate on your drawing the configuration at each of the C stereocentres

Find an example of a chiral molecule in biology whose enantiomers have markedly different functions. Where is the chiral center located, and how can it be identified? Find and include an image of its molecular structure. What function does the active enantiomer play biologically, and how is this function hindered or changed with the other enantiomer? Are there any synthetic considerations for this molecule?
Organic Chemistry 1 Here is the professor's solution to the problem. However, I do NOT understand the solution. Please explain the answer in a clear step-by-step fashion to me. Explain the answer provided in the image in a clear fashion and as if I did not know much about organic chemistry. It seems to me like the professor is making the problem more complicated than it has to be. Can you demystify or simplify this problem about D glucose? How can you assign priorities on a Fischer projection? I don't get it.

On b), I understand that we don't know which side of the molecule the Cl would attach on, but I was under the impression that we only show stereochemistry on a chiral center, and I do not see where the chiral center is on this molecule. Would you be able to explain this?
a) Are these molecules chiral? In a few sentences, explain your reasoning for your classification of each compound. b) Show structures that help support your written explanations about chirality. You should show a structure for each problem. You should not just reproduce the image, you should SHOW how you identified whether or not the molecule is chiral.
I need hand written solution only otherwise I will down vote how many chirality centers are present in 2.5-dichlorobenzene??explain
Provide an example of a molecule that has 4 chirality centres, but does not have 16 stereoisomers. Why doesn’t this molecule have 2n stereoisomers? Explain.
A difficult problem in the synthesis of PGF2α is the introduction of the OH group at C15 in the desired configuration. a. Label this stereogenic center as R or S. b. A well-known synthesis of PGF2α involves reaction of A with Zn(BH4)2, a metal hydride reagent similar in reactivity to NaBH4, to form two isomeric products, B and C. Draw their structures and indicate their stereochemical relationship. d. Suggest a reagent to convert A to the single stereoisomer X.
Propose structural formulas for intermediates A through F and specify the configuration at each chiral center.
Locate three chirality centres in the molecule and draw the fourth bond at each centre, clearly showing the stereochemistry .
Which stereoisomer best describes this molecule? Choose one from the following : R, S, RR, SS, RS, SR. Number the chain correctly to determine the configuration of the carbons. If you find R for carbon 2 and S for carbon 3, the answer will be RS (following the order of numbering according to the nomenclature).
A) Considering compounds 2a through 2l, identify: 1)one pair of geometric isomers 2)two pairs of enantiomers and 3)three pairs of identical molecules B) Give the names, including the configurations, of each of the geometric isomers and of each of the enantiomers identified in 1A and 1B. Draw the relevant structures. C) Sort compounds 2a, 2b, 2c, 2f and 2k in order of increasing solubility in water and briefly justify.
