(a)
Interpretation:
How many chemically distinct H atoms are in the given molecule is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Sometimes, it is not immediately obvious whether certain hydrogen atoms in a molecule are chemically distinct. In such cases, the chemical distinction test is used. Chemical distinction test is a test in which the complete structure of the molecule is to be drawn in which and only the hydrogen atom is replaced by an imaginary “X” atom. There should be one X-substituted molecule for each hydrogen atom being tested. If the chemical distinction test yields enantiomers, then the corresponding hydrogen atoms are said to be enantiotopic. If the test yields diastereomers, then the corresponding hydrogen atoms are said to be diastereotopic.
Answer to Problem 16.8P
There are two types of chemically distinct H atoms in the given molecule.
Explanation of Solution
The given molecule is:
There are five H atoms in the above compound. These H atoms are not easily identified whether they are distinct or similar. Thus, the chemical distinction test is used here.
All H atoms in the compound are replaced by “X”; all possible structures are as shown below:
Molecules I and II are enantiomers i.e. mirror images of each other. According to chemical distinction test, these H atoms are not chemically distinct. Molecules I/II and III are constitutional isomers, these H atoms are chemically distinct. Therefore, there are two distinct types of protons, one for
Number of chemically distinct H atoms in the given molecule is determined using a chemical distinction test.

Answer to Problem 16.8P
There are four types of chemically distinct H atoms in the given molecule.
Explanation of Solution
The given molecule is:
There are six H atoms in the above compound. These H atoms are not easily identified as distinct or similar. Thus, the chemical distinction test is used here.
All H atoms in the compound are replaced by “X”; all possible structures are as shown below:
Molecules I, II/III, IV/V, and VI are constitutional isomers. According to chemical distinction test, these H atoms are chemically distinct. Molecules II and III also IV and V are enantiomers; these H atoms are not chemically distinct according to the test. Thus, there are total four types of chemically distinct protons in the given molecule b.
