Chapter 17, Problem 17.11E
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Whether the form of the Fischer projection of the molecule is D or L is to be identified. The structure of the enantiomer is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The D (dextrorotatory) and L (laevorotatory) isomers are mirror images of each other and are known as enantiomers. The enantiomers which have the property of rotating the plane polarized light to the left are laevorotatory and those which rotate the plane polarized light to the right are dextrorotatory. Therefore, the characteristic physical property of optically active molecules is rotating plane polarized light.

Naming Lipid Stereoisomers Carvone, a member of the terpenoid family of chemicals, forms two enantiomers with quite different properties. One enantiomer, abundant in spearmint, smells sweet and minty. The other enantiomer, abundant in caraway seeds, smells spicy and of rye bread. Name the compounds abundant in spearmint and caraway seeds using the RS system. How?
