Concept explainers
(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.
(b)
Interpretation:
The carbon stereocenters and asymmetric carbon atoms in the given compound are to be indicated.

- Identify the stereogenic carbon in (S)- and (R)-limonene, rank the substituents around it and rationalize the assignment of their stereochemical configurations. Hint: When ranking carbons that have multiple bonds, consider the bolded carbon of C=C being connected to 2 carbons and the bolded carbon of C≡C being connected to 3 carbons.arrow_forward2, 3-Di-tert-butyl-1, 3-butadiene exists nearly exclusively in one conformation.
