Several compounds are shown below. For each, make two models: one model of the compound as shown, and the other where each tetrahedral stereocenter is inverted. Compare the two models side-by-side to see if the model with the inverted stereocenter(s) is the enantiomer, or if it is identical to the original. Remember, you can rotate around o-bonds to place the molecule in the conformation with the highest symmetry. Is each compound meso or not?

If you think you know your definitions, try this difficult problem. In the enantiomers, show how C3 is not a stereocenter
Using your model, construct an energy diagram to show the variation in the free energy of the molecule as the FRONT ATOM is rotated CLOCKWISE from 0º to 360º in 60º increments. In your energy diagram, you should clearly show the relative energies of each conformer.
What is the lowest energy 3D conformation of the molecule in the image?
Do not give handwriting solution. Click on the two groups that are in contact with one another and destabilize this conformation by steric strain. It helps to build a model of the molecule. Thankyou!
Are the following compounds chiral ? Determine the configuration if it is chiral and draw the enantiomer, for each structure.
