Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structural formula for 1-phenyl-2-amino-1-propanol should be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The spatial arrangement of atom within a compound that are joined together is identified with the help of structural formula.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The numbers of stereocenters present in the given molecule and the number of stereoisomers is possible for it should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The spatial arrangement of atom within a compound that is joined together is identified with the help of structural formula.

In chiral organic molecules, the tetrahedral carbon atom is bound to four different groups. Such a carbon is known as stereocenter.

For a molecule with n number of stereocenters, the maximum number of possible stereoisomers is 2n.
