Concept introduction:
Enantiomers of a compound are the stereoisomers which are non-super imposable mirror images. A carbon atom bonded to four different groups is known as a chiral carbon. A compound which has a chiral carbon can be resolved into enantiomers.
(b)
Interpretation:
The amines which can be resolved into enantiomers are to be identified and the reason for the interconversion of the enantiomers takes place or not is to be explained.

- Which of the amines listed next is resolved into enantiomers? In each case, explain whyinterconversion of the enantiomers does or does not take place.N-ethyl-N-methylcyclohexanaminearrow_forwardWhen the (R,R) isomer of the amine shown is treated with an excess of methyl iodide, then silver oxide, then heated, the majorproduct is the Hofmann product.) Some Zaitsev product is also formed. It has the (E) configuration. When the same amine is treated with mCPBA and heated, theZaitsev product has the (Z) configuration. Use stereochemical drawings of the transition states to explain these observationsarrow_forwardAliphatic amines are more basic than ammonia, whereas aromatic amines are less basic than ammonia. Is that true or false?arrow_forward
