Chapter 5.9, Problem 25P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The R,S configuration to the enantiomers and two diastereomers of a compound with R,S in configuration are to be assigned.

Concept introduction: R,S configurations are used to determine the relation between two compounds. Enantiomer of a compound has opposite configuration. Diastereomers of a compound have at least one stereogenic centre with same configuration and at least one stereogenic centre with opposite configuration.

Students have asked these similar questions
Identify pairs of molecules that represent enantiomers and diastereomers and identify each center stereogenic by writing R or S next to it.
What is the maximum number of stereoisomers possible for a compound with: (a) three stereogenic centers; (b) eight stereogenic centers?
Identify the relationship in each of the following pairs. Do the drawings represent constitutional isomers or stereoisomers, or are they just different ways of drawing the same compound? If they are stereoisomers, are they enantiomers or diastereomers?
