If you think you know your definitions, try this difficult problem. In the mesostructures, show how C3 is not asymmetric, nor is it a chiral center, yet it is a stereocenter.
In the previous problem, you saw that there were two chiral carbons in 4-bromo-3-hydroxypentanal. That molecule is drawn below with the chiral carbons circled. What is the maximum number of stereoisomers that can exist for this molecule? Can you help me, please? Can you explain to me?
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?
For the 1,2-dichlorocyclohexane stereoisomers, which conformation of the trans stereoisomer has the lower energy, the diaxial or the diequatorial conformer? Which isomer and conformation of the three you built has the lowest energy? E of all the isomers of 1,2-dichlorocyclohexane. Explain the differences in energy, i.e., identify the sources of strain in the conformations you built. Show the sources of strain in a drawing.

In the space provided below, write a line structure corresponding to the systematic name (R)-3-methylhexane. Then, provide a Newman projection that illustrates the lowest energy conformation of (R)-3-methylhexane along the C3-C4 bond axis of the same. Again, place your answer in the space provided.
(a) Draw all other stereoisomers of the molecule , labelling meso forms (if any), and assign descriptors to chiral carbon atoms. (b) Including molecule below, label pairs of enantiomers and pairs of diastereomers. (c) If you were to distill a mixture of all the isomers, how many fractions could be obtained, and what is in each fraction?
Which do you expect to be the more stable conformation of cis-1,3-dimethylcyclobutane, A or B? Why?
I don't understand why the first one and second one are cis and trans respectively. Wouldn't the first one be trans-1,2-dimethylcyclobutane because the torsional strain wouldn't allow the carbons to be in the same conformation. Meaning one of the carbons would be up and then the next would be down and so on. Since both methyl groups are equatorial and the first and second carbons are arranged up and down, wouldn't it be trans. Same logic for the second molecule. Carbon 1, which is attached to the methyl is down, carbon 3 which is attached to the methyl should be down also because of torsional strain, and since both methyl are in axial (or equatorial?), it would be cis. Or is it based off of the way the carbons are positioned in the picture?

Please answer this NEATLY, COMPLETELY, and CORRECTLY for an UPVOTE. Long and detailed explanations are not needed. Keep it short, brief, and direct because I only need the answers as soon as possible. Calculate the total strain energy in each of the two chair conformations of cis-1-tert-butyl-4-chlorocyclohexane. By how much energy is the more stable conformation favored (this is the difference in energy between the two conformations)? NOTE: The strain energy for one H,Cl interaction is 1.0 kJ/mol while for H,-C(CH3)3 (t-butyl) is 11.4 kJ/mol.
