Chapter 5, Problem 2PP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The stereochemistry of 2bromopropane is to be discussed.

Concept introduction:

The compounds which are non-superimposable or not identical with their mirror images are known as chiral objects. The pair of two mirror images which are non-identical is known as enantiomers. Enantiomers have same physical and chemical properties in an achiral environment and they rotate the direction of polarized light to equal, but opposite angles.

The objects which are superimposable with their mirror images are achiral objects and these objects have a centre of symmetry or a plane of symmetry.

Draw a three-dimensional structure for each compound, and star all asymmetric carbon atoms. Draw the mirror image for each structure, and state whether you have drawn a pair of enantiomers or just the same molecule twice. Build molecular models of any of these examples that seem difficult to you.

a) Considering compounds 2a through 21, identify: ONE PAIR of geometric isomers; TWO PAIRS of enantiomers and THREE PAIRS of identical molecules. b) Give the names, including the configurations, of each of the geometric isomers and of each of the enantiomers. Draw the relevant structures in the space provided in the Answer Booklet. c) Sort compounds 2a, 2b, 2c, 2f and 2k in order of increasing solubility in water and briefly justify your ordering. 2 НО.
