Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The relation between given pair of compounds as enantiomers, diastereomers, constitutional isomers, or identical is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Enantiomers are the stereoisomers that have exactly opposite R,S notations. Diastereomers are the stereoisomers that have the opposite R,S notations for at least one stereogenic center and the same R,S notations for at least one stereogenic center. Identical compounds have same R,S notations at each stereogenic center. The IUPAC names of enantiomers and diastereomers are differ to each other, only in terms of prefixes (cis, trans, R,S). However, the IUPAC name of identical isomers is completely same. Constitutional isomers are the compounds that have same molecular formula, but possess different skeletal structures. They differ to each other in the connectivity of atoms. Therefore, their IUPAC names are entirely different.
