Chapter 5.3, Problem 5.12E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structure of enantiomer of given compounds needs to be drawn and their configuration needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: Enantiomers are those compounds which have same molecular formula, but the arrangements of groups are different from each other.

Identify pairs of molecules that represent enantiomers and diastereomers and identify each center stereogenic by writing R or S next to it.
1, part A) We observe 6 carbon stereocenters in the molecule below. Indicate each stereocenter, and give the absolute S or R configuration. 1, part B) Indicate each stereoisomer in this molecule, and give the absolute S or R configuration. Then, indicate E or Z configuration of all alkenes in it (*ignoring aromatic ring*).
a) Draw a 2-dimensional structure of 4,5-dibromooctane and label, with an asterisk, thetetrahedral stereo centers.b) What is the maximum number of stereoisomers for this molecule?c) Draw Fischer projections of all the potential stereoisomers of (a).d) Label, on the above projections, all the stereocenters as R or S.e) Indicate the enantiomers, diastereomers and the meso compound if present.
