Chapter 4.10, Problem 17P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The crystalline solid stereoisomer of 3-amino-2-butanol other than (2R,3S)-3-amino-2-butanol is to be named.

Concept introduction:

Enantiomers are stereoisomers but non-superimposable mirror images.

Enantiomers have similar physical properties like density, melting point and boiling point.

The configuration at the corresponding chiral centers is exactly opposite in case of enantiomers.

Diastereomers are stereoisomers and are not mirror images of each other.

Diastereomers have very different physical and chemical properties.

Diastereomers have at least two chiral centers and they are not mirror images of each other; they must have an opposite configuration for at least one chirality centers.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Only three stereoisomers are possible for 2,3-dibromo-2, 3-dichlorobutane. Draw them, indicating which pair are enantiomers (optical isomers). Why does the other isomer not have an enantiomer?
How many chiral centers are in oxanamide? How many stereoisomers are possible for this compound?
What is the maximum number of stereoisomers possible for each compound?
