Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The carbon stereocenters and asymmetric carbon atoms in the given compound are to be indicated.

Concept introduction:

A carbon atom that has four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as the chiral carbon atom. Chiral carbon centers are also called as asymmetric or stereogenic centers. Stereocenters define as the atom whose bond if broken and rearranged, and then a new stereoisomer will form.

Which do you expect to be the more stable conformation of cis-1,3-dimethylcyclobutane, A or B? Why?
A compound C4H11N is known from its reactivity andspectroscopic properties to have no hydrogen atomsattached directly to the nitrogen atom. Write all structuralformulas consistent with this information
On being heated with a solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol, compound A (C7H15Br) yielded a mixture of two alkenes B and C, each having the molecular formula C7H14. Catalytic hydrogenation of the major isomer B or the minor isomer C gave only 3-ethylpentane. Suggest structures for compounds A, B, and C consistent with these observations.
