Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The given pair of compounds is to be labeled as enantiomers or diastereomers.

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.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The given pair of compounds is to be labeled as enantiomers or diastereomers.

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