Textbook Question
Chapter 19.9, Problem HQ
Intermediate G in Synthesis III is produced as a racemic mixture because
- 1. Chiral metal catalysts have not yet been developed by chemists.
- 2. Although 4-isobutylacetophenone is chiral, the stereochemical preferences for a particular enantiomeric product must coincidentally be near zero.
- 3. None of the reactants are chiral.
- 4. Answers 1 and 3 are correct.

Students have asked these similar questions
Labetalol has two chiral centers and, as produced in this synthesis, is a racemic mixture of the four possible stereoisomers. The active stereoisomer is dilevalol, which has the R,R configuration at its chiral centers. Draw a structural formula of dilevalol showing the configuration of each chiral center.
Consider the following biosynthetic pathway provided ( see attached pic)
1( a) what are the degrees of the THREE carbocations
(b) what makes it possible for methyl shift and hydride shift to occur in the compound?
2. Do methyl shift and hydride shift ALWAYS result in an increase of stability of the compound?
3. What are the purposes of methyl shift and hydride shift?

Here is the professor's solution to the problem. However, I do NOT understand the solution. Please explain the answer in a clear step-by-step fashion to me. Explain the answer provided in the image in a clear fashion and as if I did not know much about organic chemistry. It seems to me like the professor is making the problem more complicated than it has to be. Can you demystify or simplify this problem about D glucose?
How can you assign priorities on a Fischer projection? I don't get it.
