Q2: Drawn are four isomeric dimethylcyclopropanes. a. How are the compounds in each pair related (enantiomers, diastereomers, constitutional isomers): A and 8; A and C; B and C, Cand D? b. Label each compound as chiral or achiral. c. Which compounds, alone, would be optically active? d. Which compounds have a plane of symmetry? e. Which of the compounds are meso compounds? f. Would an equal mixture of compounds C and D be optically active? What about an equal mixture of B and C?
