Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Three possible structures for the constitutional isomers of molecular formula
Concept Introduction:
There are two main classes of isomers − constitutional isomers and stereo isomers.
Constitutional Isomers have the same molecular formula but differ in the way the atoms are connected to each other.
Chirality is the presence of an asymmetric carbon center in a molecule and a molecule which contains a chiral center cannot superimpose on its mirror image. To consider as chiral, molecule or object and its mirror image should not superimpose. To consider as achiral, molecule or object and its mirror image should be superimposed with each other.
In the above diagram, where C is the chiral center/ asymmetric carbon center.
A, B, D, E are four different

- Draw a 3-D structure of a molecule with a molecular formula of C4H9Cl containing one chiral center and draw its mirror image.arrow_forwardwhich is false? Enantiomers of amines are separable (resolvable). Amines are chiral. Shape of amines is trigonal pyramid. N in amines is sp3 hybridized.arrow_forwardDraw the structure of a compound of molecular formula C4H11NO that ts each description: (a) a compound that contains a 1° amine and a 3° alcohol; (b) a compound that contains a 3° amine and a 1° alcohol.arrow_forward
- Draw and name the seven aldehydes and ketones with the formula C5H10O. Which are chiral?arrow_forwarda. Classify each of the following amines as (1) primary, secondary or tertiary and as (2) aliphatic or aromatic. b. Classify each of the following amines as primary, secondary or tertiary.arrow_forwardEphedrine (2‑methylamino‑1‑phenylpropanol) is a drug that is used as a decongestant and bronchodilator to treat, among other conditions, the congestion due to the common cold. Place an asterisk (*) next to the chirality center(s) in the ephedrine molecule.arrow_forward
