(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: A three dimensional structure for the given compound, labeled mirror image of the structure and if the mirror image is the same compound.

Interpretation: A three dimensional structure for the given compound and labeled mirror image of the structure is to be drawn and identification of the mirror image as the same compound is to be done.

Concept introduction: A carbon which has all the four different atoms or group of atoms show tetrahedral geometry is referred as the chiral carbon. The mirror image of an object that contains chiral carbon has non-super imposable mirror image. The two different forms in which a single chiral carbon can exist is referred to as enantiomers. The number of enantiomers of a molecule depends on the number of chiral centres.

Concept introduction: A carbon which has all the four different atoms or group of atoms show tetrahedral geometry is referred as the chiral carbon. The mirror image of an object that contains chiral carbon has non-super imposable mirror image. The two different forms in which a single chiral carbon can exist is referred as to enantiomers. The number of enantiomers of a molecule depends on the number of chiral centres.

Construct a model in which a tetrahedral carbon atom has four different colored model atoms attached to it- red, green, orange and white representing 4 different atoms attached to the central atom.  a) Does the atom have a plane of symmetry? why or why not? b) Now replace the green atom in your model with a second orange atom. Now two of the groups attached to the carbon atom are identical. Does the model now have a plane of symmetry? Describe it.  c)A carbon atom has four different groups attached to the stereogenic center. Draw structural formulas for the following compound and mark stereogenic centers with as asterisk: 1-bromobutane, 2-bromobutane, 1,2-dibromobutane, 1,4-dibromobutane, 2,3-dibromobutane.
