Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The four possible stereoisomers of threonine by using wedges and dashes are to be drawn.
Concept introduction: Isomers are the compounds with similar formula and different structures. Stereoisomers are a type of isomers in which arrangement of atoms differ in space. Or the compounds that have same molecular formula but they differ in the arrangement of atoms or groups in the space are known as stereoisomers.
(b)
Interpretation: The structure which corresponds to an amino acid with
Concept introduction: The stereochemistry of the compound is determined by prioritizing the groups attached to its stereogenic center. The groups are prioritized on the basis of
