Chapter 5, Problem 67P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The cis and trans isomers of the given structure B. The stereochemical relation between them needs to be determined. The R or S configuration needs to be assigned to the stereocenters at the ring fusion.

Concept Introduction:When four groups are attached to single atom that atom is called chiral atom and rotation about that atom is called the configuration.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The cis form of the compound and the stereochemistry at carbon 3 and 6 needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:when an atom has four different groups that atom is called the chiral atom and rotation about chiral atom gives the configuration of the molecule.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The cis configuration and configuration at C,C4a,C6, and C8a needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:Configuration tells us about the rotation of the molecule about the chiral atom. Clockwise rotation represents the R whereas anticlockwise represents the S configuration.

Shown below is Streptomycin, an antibiotic medication used to treat a number of bacterial infections, including tuberculosis, plague, and endocarditis. Neomycin B has broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Circle and label as many functional groups in these molecules as you can. Label each chiral carbon in Streptomycin. How many total stereoisomers exist for Streptomycin? Label each chiral carbon in Neomycin B. How many total stereoisomers exist for Neomycin B?
Compound X and compound Y are constitutional isomers with the molecular formula C5H10. Compound X possesses a carbon-carbon double bond in the trans configuration, while compound Y possesses a carbon-carbon double bond that is not stereoisomeric:
