(a)
To draw: All the stereoisomers of 2,3,4-tribromopentane with the help of fisher projections.
Interpretation: All the stereoisomers of 2,3,4-tribromopentane with the help of fisher projections are to be drawn.
Concept introduction: The enantiomers of a chiral compound can be named with the help of right hand and left hand configuration. In fisher projection, chiral carbon atom is represented by a cross. When two groups on a fisher projection are interchanged, the configuration of chiral carbon also changes from (R) to (S) aur (S) to (R).
(b)
To determine: The asymmetric carbon atoms and to label them as (R) or (S).
Interpretation: The asymmetric carbon atoms are to be identified and (R) or (S) has to be labeled.

Concept introduction: The enantiomers of a chiral compound can be named with the help of right hand and left hand configuration. Chiral centers signify the presence of asymmetric carbon atoms. They are examples of stereocentre. When two groups bounded to an atom are interchanged to give a stereoisomer, then the atom is known as stereogenic atom.

- In the previous problem, you saw that there were two chiral carbons in 4-bromo-3-hydroxypentanal. That molecule is drawn below with the chiral carbons circled. What is the maximum number of stereoisomers that can exist for this molecule? Can you help me, please? Can you explain to me?arrow_forwardFor the compound below draw all of its stereoisomers, be sure to label the enantiomeric pairs and any meso compoundsarrow_forwardIf you think you know your definitions, try this difficult problem. In the mesostructures, show how C3 is not asymmetric, nor is it a chiral center, yet it is a stereocenter.arrow_forward
- I'm confused as to why the chiral centers are the was they are. I understand that the horizontal lines are wedged and vertical are dashed. Wouldn't the first priority be the carboxylic acid, then alcohol, the carbon, and then the hydrogen? The book is saying that one method is to keep two of the straight lines and pick one group to be dashed and one to be wedged. Then switch the last priority group (H) with whatever group you chose to be on the dash. Whatever configuration you get, make it the opposite since you switched groups. And when I use this method I end up getting S when the top one should be R.arrow_forwardPlease answer this NEATLY, COMPLETELY, and CORRECTLY for an UPVOTE. Long and detailed explanations are not needed. Keep it short, brief, and direct because I only need the answers as soon as possible. Calculate the total strain energy in each of the two chair conformations of cis-1-tert-butyl-4-chlorocyclohexane. By how much energy is the more stable conformation favored (this is the difference in energy between the two conformations)? NOTE: The strain energy for one H,Cl interaction is 1.0 kJ/mol while for H,-C(CH3)3 (t-butyl) is 11.4 kJ/mol.arrow_forwardPlease do parts A and B Consider (2R,3R)-2,3-diidobutane: (a) Draw a Fischer Projection of this structure with C1 on top and C4 on bottom. (b) Draw a Newman Projection of of the meso compound of 2,3-dibromobutane looking down the C2-C3 bond with C2 in front, and label your asymmetric carbons as S or R.arrow_forward
- In the space provided below, write a line structure corresponding to the systematic name (R)-3-methylhexane. Then, provide a Newman projection that illustrates the lowest energy conformation of (R)-3-methylhexane along the C3-C4 bond axis of the same. Again, place your answer in the space provided.arrow_forwardDoes eugenol have any double bonds that would be considered E or Z? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardPlease answer this NEATLY, COMPLETELY, and CORRECTLY for an UPVOTE. Long and detailed explanations are not needed. Keep it short, brief, and direct because I only need the answers. Which conformation is the most stable representation of 2,3-dimethylbutane?arrow_forward

Briefly justify your choice.arrow_forwardDraw Newman Projections representing the two highest and two lowest energy conformers of (3S,4S)-4-tert-butyl-2,3-dimethyloctane as viewed along the C3-C4 bond. b.) Label each conformer with theappropriate description then analyze them and rank their energies and explain your reasoning by specifyingthe types of interactions. (Hint: Draw the first and then rotate only the front or back carbon)arrow_forwardStereoisomers share the same connectivity and differ only in the way their atoms are arranged in space. Draw the structure of a compound that is a stereoisomer of trans-1,2-dibromocyclobutane.(Note that the question asks for a different stereoisomer of the named compound and not the named compound itself.)Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists.In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one.arrow_forward
