Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structure and mirror images of (R)-2-butyl (R,R)-tartrate and (S)-2-butyl (R,R)-tartrate are to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The enantiomers of a chiral compound can be named with the help of right hand and left hand configuration. In fisher projection, chiral carbon atom is represented by a cross. When two groups on a fisher projection are interchanged, the configuration of chiral carbon also changes from (R) to (S) aur (S) to (R).

To determine: The structure and mirror images of (R)-2-butyl (R,R)-tartrate and (S)-2-butyl (R,R)-tartrate.
