(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation : The structure of ( R )-2-chloropentane needs to be drawn.

Concept Introduction : When four different groups are attached in a single atom then it is called chiral atom. The priority is given to the groups depending on their atomic mass and configuration is decided in such a way that if the increasing order of priority order is clockwise than the configuration is R and if it is anticlockwise then the configuration is S.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation : The structure of ( S )-2-methyl-3-bromohexane needs to be drawn.

Concept Introduction : When four different groups are attached in a single atom then it is called chiral atom. The priority is given to the groups depending on their atomic mass and configuration is decided in such a way that if the increasing order of priority order is clockwise than the configuration is R and if it is anticlockwise then the configuration is S.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation : The structure of (S)-1,3-dichlorobutane should be drawn.

Concept Introduction : When four different groups are attached in a single atom then it is called chiral atom. The priority is given to the groups depending on their atomic mass and configuration is decided in such a way that if the increasing order of priority order is clockwise than the configuration is R and if it is anticlockwise then the configuration is S.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The structure of(R)-2-chloro-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-methylbutane should be drawn.

A difficult problem in the synthesis of PGF2α is the introduction of the OH group at C15 in the desired conguration.a. Label this stereogenic center as R or S.b. A well known synthesis of PGF2α involves reaction of A with Zn(BH4)2, a metal hydride reagent similar in reactivity to NaBH4, to form two isomeric products, B and C. Draw their structures and indicate their stereochemical relationship.c. Suggest a reagent to convert A to the single stereoisomer X.
