Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The chirality of isomeric alcohol having molecular formula
Concept introduction:
A chiral carbon atom is one which is attached to four different atoms or groups.
Different compounds having the same molecular formula are called isomers. They may differ in their constitution or arrangement of atoms in space.

- Draw the products formed when (S)-butan-2-ol is treated with TsCl and pyridine, followed by NaOH. Label the stereogenic center in each compound as R or S. What is the stereochemical relationship between the starting alcohol and the nal product?arrow_forwardFive isomeric alkanes (A–E) having the molecular formula C6H14 are each treated with Cl2 + hν to give alkyl halides having molecular formula C6H13Cl. A yields five constitutional isomers. B yields four constitutional isomers. C yields two constitutional isomers. D yields three constitutional isomers, two of which possess stereogenic centers. E yields three constitutional isomers, only one of which possesses a stereogenic center. Identify the structures of A–E.arrow_forwardThe reaction of 4-methylcyclohexanone with CH3MgBr followed by neutralization gives two alcohols.

B yields four constitutionalisomers. C yields two constitutional isomers. D yields threeconstitutional isomers, two of which possess stereogenic centers. Eyields three constitutional isomers, only one of which possesses astereogenic center. Identify the structures of A–E.arrow_forwardAccount for the regioselectivity and stereoselectivity observed when 1-methylcyclopentene is treated with reagent. Q) Br2 in H2Oarrow_forwardTwo diastereomeric sets of enantiomers, A/B and C/D, exist for 3-bromo-2-butanol. When enantiomer A or B is treated with HBr, only racemic 2,3-dibromobutane is formed; no meso isomer is formed. When enantiomer C or D is treated with HBr, only meso 2,3-dibromobutane is formed; no racemic 2,3-dibromobutane is formed. Account for these observations.arrow_forward
