Chapter 11, Problem 56P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

All the stereoisomers possible for 1,2,3-cyclopentanetriol, with their labeled chiral centers, are to be drawn. Also, the enantiomers and diastereomers that exist for the compound are to be distinguished.

Concept introduction:

Enantiomers: Two molecules that are mirror images of each other and are non-superimposable.

A meso compound is an achiral compound that has chiral centers. It tends to get superimposed on its mirror image that makes it optically inactive, although it contains two or more stereocenters. It has a d-configuration above the plane and an l-configuration below the plane, or vice versa.

Diastereomers: Two stereoisomers that have different orientations of atoms around and are not mirror images of each other.

2. The following molecule is one enantiomer of methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). 2a. Circle all of the stereocenters in MDMA 2b. Assign the absolute stereochemistry (R or S) for each stereocenter .CH3 HN H H *CH3
4. Draw all the stereoisomers of (a) 3-chloro-2-pentanol and (b) 2-bromo-3-hydroxybutane. Give the stereochemistry relationships of stereoisomers (indicate which isomers are enantiomers / diastereomers).
For the following molecules, draw all possible stereoisomers using line-angle formulas with wedge/dash notation. Label the stereocenters as R or S. Indicate which ones are enantiomers and which ones are diastereomers. (Remember: there are 2 stereoisomers possible for a molecule with n chiral centers) (A) (B) (C) (1 chiral center) Br OH (2 chiral centers) CI OH CH3 (3 chiral centers)
