Concept explainers
a.
For the below compound (Enantiomer) Fischer projection has to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Fischer projections:
In Fischer projection, the chirality center of the organic compounds are drawn using the following convention. First, the carbon atom is placed at the meeting point of the two lines of the cross. In a tetrahedron structure, the horizontal bonds indicate forward and denoted by wedges. The vertical bonds indicate backward and denoted by dashed lines. Finally, Fischer projection structure is abbreviated by cross formula.
Enantiomers:
Enantiomers are mirror image of the other and these are chiral molecules,but that are non superimposableon one another.
b.
Interpretation:
For the below compound (Enantiomer) Fischer projection has to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Refer to part ‘a.’.

- For those that have only one stereocenter draw Fischer projection(s) of the S-stereoisomer placing the 4 and 2 positions on the vertical line.arrow_forwardDraw the enantiomer of each compound.arrow_forwardC. Smelling Chirality. Carvone Olfactory receptors in our noses, used for the detection of odors, are chiral. Therefore, in some cases, we can tell the difference between enantiomers by their odor. Carvone is one such compound that we can distinguish between the R and S enantiomer by their odor. 1. Identify the chiral center in carvone and draw the R and S enantiomers in the indicated boxes. 2. Smell both of the enantiomers of carvone and provide a brief description of their odors in the same boxes. Carvone is perfectly safe to smell as both enantiomers are found in various foods.
