Chapter 4, Problem 30P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the five given isomers, the isomers that are chiral, constitutional isomers, stereoisomers, enantiomers, and diastereomers of each other are to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

A molecule is said to be chiral if it has no plane of symmetry or center of symmetry present in it.

Constitutional isomer is the one which has the same molecular formula but different structural formula, that is, the groups or atoms are connected in different position.

Enantiomers are non-superimposable mirror images of each other, whereas diastereomers are non-superimposable non-mirror images of each other.

For diastereomers, we need at least two chiral centers in the molecule.
