(a)
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
(b)
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 : 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:The structure of(R)-2-chloro-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-methylbutane 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.

Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function
- In 1935, J. Bredt, a German chemist, proposed that a bicycloalkene could not have a double bond at a bridgehead carbon unless one of the rings containsat least eight carbons. This is known as Bredt’s rule. Explain why there cannot be a double bond at this position.arrow_forwardIdentify the stereogenic carbon in (S)- and (R)-limonene, rank the substituents around it and rationalize the assignment of their stereochemical configurations.arrow_forwardPlease provide IUPAC names for the given molecules, specifying their stereocentersarrow_forward
- Given that five isomeric compounds (A, B, C, D, E) with the molecular formula C5H10O were subjected to chemical tests after undergoing Clemmensen reduction compounds A,B, and C all yielded n-pentane, the results of these tests are provided in the table below. Can you draw the structures of compounds A to E based on the outcomes of the chemical tests?arrow_forwardcalculate the degree of unsaturation and draw structures that would meet the following descriptionsarrow_forwardCalculate the number of degrees of unsaturation and draw 5 structures for this moleculearrow_forward
- Write structures for products A, B, C, and D showinf stereochemistry. (Hint: B and D are stereoisomers)arrow_forwardThe name of the parent six-membered sulfur-containing heterocycle is thiane. It is numbered beginning at sulfur. Multiple incorporation of sulfur in the ring is indicated by the prefixes di-, tri-, and so on. (a) How many methyl-substituted thianes are there? Which ones are chiral? (b) Write structural formulas for 1,4-dithiane and 1,3,5-trithiane. (c) Which dithiane isomer (1,2-, 1,3-, or 1,4-) is a disulfide?(d) Draw the two most stable conformations of the sulfoxide derived from thiane.arrow_forward(S)-2-Tosylpentane (stereochemistry not shown in the figure below) is converted to one of the stereoisomers of 2-bromopentane.
