(a)
Interpretation:The complete IUPAC name of indicated enantiomer should be written as well as numbers of possible stereoisomeric products formed in the chlorination with
Concept introduction: Halogenation products are governed by the achirality or already present stereocenter in the molecule.
If the halogenation occurs at the chiral center of the substrate it results in a racemic mixture. This is attributed to formation of achiral radical intermediate that can be attacked equally from the top face or bottom face. Thus two enantiomers R and S are formed in equal amount that makes the overall mixture optically inactive.
If the halogenation occurs at one of the two chiral centers of the substrate it results in change in absolute configuration at only one of the stereocenter and thus diastereoisomer result. These diastereomers are formed in unequal amounts.

Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function
- Ketones react with alcohols to yield products called acetals. Why does the all-cis isomer of 4-tert-butyl-1,3-cyclohexanediol react readily with acetone and an acid catalyst to form an acetal, but other stereoisomers do not react? In formulating your answer, draw the more stable chair conformations of all four stereoisomers and the product acetal for each one.arrow_forwardConsider the following reaction. (a) Draw a structural formula for the compound with the molecular formula C8H12. (b) Do you predict the product to be the cis isomer, the trans isomer, or a mixture of cis and trans isomers? Explain. (c) Draw a suitable stereorepresentation for the more stable chair conformation of the dicarbaldehyde formed in this oxidation.arrow_forwardDraw the structure of each molecule below and put an asterisk on each tetrahedral stereocenter. i) 3,4-dichlorohexane ii) 3-bromo-1-iodo-5-methylhexane iii) 3-bromo-2,4-dimethylpentanearrow_forward
- Draw the structural formula for at least one bromoalkene with the molecular formula C5H9Br that shows: Q.)E,Z isomerism but not chiralityarrow_forwardHow many chiral center(s) are present in each molecule and how many stereoisomers are possible in each case? a) 2- Chloropentane b) 3- chloropentane c) 3- Chloro- 1- pentene draw the structures of each of the molecules on paper with showing chiral centers with a star/asterisk and mention the number of the stereoisomers for each molecule.arrow_forwardDraw the seven isomers with formula C6H12 that have the ring of cyclobutane. identify from that set: a) A couple of constituional isomers b) Cis -trans isomers c) A couple enantiomers d)A meso compoundarrow_forward
- Draw the structural formula for at least one bromoalkene with the molecular formula C5H9Br that shows: Q.Both chirality and E,Z isomerismarrow_forwardLabel them based on the type of stereoisomerism they exhibit in. OPTICAL. NEITHER OPTICAL OR GEOMETRIC GEOMETRIC CH3CH(CBr3)CH2CH2CH3 CHCI=CHCH2CI CH3CH(CBr3)CH2CH3 CF2=CI2 CHBr=CHCH2Brarrow_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 cis-1,4-dibromocyclohexane.(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
- Draw and name the six isomeric cyclopentane of molecular formula C7H14. These will include four constitutional isomers, of which two show geometric (cis-trans) stereoisomerism.arrow_forwardWrite the name of the following compounds. Which of them are stereoisomers? Which of them are optically active? Use cis-trans, (E)(Z) nomenclature and assign the absolute configuration (R),(S), if any to each chiral center.arrow_forwardCompound X, C8H17Cl, is a chiral product of the radical chlorination of 4-methylheptane.X reacts in SN2 fashion with NaI in acetone to form Z, C8H17I. When the reactant is the R-enantiomer of X, only the R-enantiomer of Z is formed.Draw a structural formula for X; do not show stereochemistry.arrow_forward
