Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The possible stereoisomers for bromochlorofluoromethane are to be drawn with the assumption that it has tetrahedral geometry at the carbon atom. The relationship between the corresponding stereoisomer is stated.
Concept introduction:
Those compounds which have the same molecular formula but have different arrangements of atoms are known as isomers. The phenomenon is called isomerism. The isomers are generally classified as structural isomers and stereoisomers. Stereoisomers are further divided into two categories diastereomers and enantiomers.
(b)
Interpretation:
The possible stereoisomers for bromochlorofluoromethane are to be drawn with the assumption that it has square planar geometry at the carbon atom. The relationship between the corresponding stereoisomer is stated.

- Predict the specific optical rotation of the bicyclic molecule to the right. briefly explain the basis of your prediction.arrow_forward(a) Draw all other stereoisomers of the molecule , labelling meso forms (if any), and assign descriptors to chiral carbon atoms. (b) Including molecule below, label pairs of enantiomers and pairs of diastereomers. (c) If you were to distill a mixture of all the isomers, how many fractions could be obtained, and what is in each fraction?arrow_forwardassign the stereochemical configuration of the selected tetrahedral carbon chiral centers (R, S or N (not a chiral center)) and the alkene (E, Z or N (not a stereocenter)) that are indicated by the arrows (note that you do not have to assign the configuration of every chiral center in the molecule). If the atom in question is not a chiral center or is not a stereocenter circle N for neither.arrow_forward
- The two chair forms of cis-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane are shown. Which is lower in energy and why?arrow_forwardFor the compounds given (A, B, C) 1. determine their relationship ( enantimers, idential/same compind, diatermeros, constitutional isomers) and give a short explanation whyarrow_forwardThe NMR spectrum of bromocyclohexane indicates a low field signal (1H) at δ 4.16. To room temperature, this signal is a singlet, but at -75 ° C it separates into two peaks of unequal area (but totaling one proton): δ 3.97 and δ 4.64, in ratio 4.6: 1.0. How do you explain the doubling in two peaks? According to the generalization of the previous problem, what conformation of the molecule predominates (at -75 ° C)? What percentage of the molecules does it correspond to? Solve all parts otherwise down vote and hand written solutionarrow_forward
- A) How many stereocentres are present in the molecule? B) Is the molecule chiral? Does it contain planes of symmetry? Briefly explain using the evidence for your answer. C) Are the models you have just built enantiomers?arrow_forwardAnswer the following questions regarding the below structures : 1) which form is thermodinamically favored ? 2)For CO stretches in the cis and trans isomers ,do the stretches values give evidence of backbonding? 3)Could these isomers be distinguished by the number of IR active CO stretches (must have dipole change)? How many IR active?arrow_forwardChiral compounds have a so-called asymmetric carbon atom in the molecular structure, and are opticalactive. Study the following organic molecule containing two −? − ? – groups (thiol) andwhich is a medicine against various types of metal poisoning, including against arsenic, mercury and lead: Image Based on this skeletal structure, judge whether this molecule is chiral.
