a. b. c.
(a)
Interpretation: The possible stereoisomers for the given cycloalkane are to be drawn. The labeling of any enantiomers, diastereomers or meso compound is to be stated.
Concept introduction: A carbon atom that has four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as chiral carbon atom. Chiral carbon centers are also called as asymmetric or stereogenic centers.
The stereocenters are carbon atoms on which the interchanging of two atoms or groups results in the formation of new stereoisomers. The stereocenters are also known as stereogenic centers.
Answer to Problem 5.56P
The possible stereoisomers for the given cycloalkane are three. Among the three stereoisomers, the labeling of two enantiomers of the given cycloalkane is
Explanation of Solution
The given cycloalkane is,
