(a)
Interpretation: The lowest molecular weight chiral compound that contains only
Concept introduction: The compound which contains an asymmetric carbon atom (carbon atom which is bonded with four different groups) is known as chiral compound. The chiral compound is always non-superimposable to its mirror image.

- How are each pair of compounds related (enantiomers, diastereomers, meso, same, constitutional isomers)? Relate A-B, B-D, B-C, and C-D. Label each as chiral or achiral. Which are optically active?arrow_forward2. Draw the two chair conformations of menthol and identify the more stable conformation.arrow_forwardThe facts in Section 5.4A can be used to locate stereogenic centers in any molecule, no matter how complicated. Always look for carbons surrounded by four different groups. With this in mind, locate the four stereogenic centers in aliskiren, a drug introduced in 2007 for the treatment of hypertension.arrow_forward
- Draw 10 chair conformations of cyclohexane: 5 of them showng the right side pointing up and 5 with the left side pointing up.arrow_forwardHow To Find and Draw All Possible Stereoisomers for a Compound with Two Stereogenic Centers? Explain all steps ?arrow_forwardDrawn are four isomeric dimethylcyclopropane. a. How are the compounds in each pair related (enantiomers, diastereomers,constitutional isomers): A and B; A and C; B and C; C and D?b. Label each compound as chiral or achiral.c. Which compounds, alone, would be optically active?d. Which compounds have a plane of symmetry?e. Which of the compounds are meso compounds?f. Would an equal mixture of compounds C and D be optically active? Whatabout an equal mixture of B and C?g. How many stereogenic centers are there for each compound?arrow_forward
- (a) (1R,2R)-1,2-dibromocyclohexane, label each structure you have drawn as chiral or achiral.arrow_forwardThe principles in Section 5.4A can be used to locate stereogenic centers in any molecule, no matter how complicated. Always look for carbons surrounded by four different groups. With this in mind, locate the four stereogenic centers in aliskiren, a drug introduced in 2007 for the treatment of hypertension.arrow_forwardPart D. Do the two structures A and B of each pair drawn below represent the same molecule, constitutional isomers, or stereoisomers? If A and B are stereoisomers, further classify them as enantiomers or diastereomers.arrow_forward
- Please identify the relationship between each pair of structures as: (i) identical, (ii) constitutional, (iii) conformational, (iv) enantiomers, or (v) diastereomers. Choose only one label per pair of structures.arrow_forwardIdentify each molecule as Chiral or Achiral. Give explanationarrow_forwardDraw the most stable conformation of 1,4-dichlorobutane, using wedges and dashes to represent bonds coming out of the paper and going behind the paper, respectively.arrow_forward
