Chapter 6, Problem 6.50AP
Interpretation Introduction

(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.

Interpretation Introduction

(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.

Concept introduction:

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The possible stereoisomers for bromochlorofluoromethane are to be drawn with the assumption that it has pyramidal geometry at the carbon atom. The relationship between the corresponding stereoisomer is stated.

write structural formulas for all the compounds that are trichloro derivatives of cyclopropane, which are chiral and which are achiral?
Thiols are sulfur containing organic compounds. Allyl mercaptan is a small molecule from garlic and responsible for “garlic breath”. Its formula is C3H6S. It has been shown to be the most effective HDAC (Histone deacetylase inhibitors) inhibitor of known garlic-derived organosulfur compounds and their metabolites. Draw all possible isomers with formula C3H6S. Define among the molecules which could be optically active. Which of molecule is allyl mercaptan?
Using your model, construct an energy diagram to show the variation in the free energy of the molecule as the FRONT ATOM is rotated CLOCKWISE from 0º to 360º in 60º increments. In your energy diagram, you should clearly show the relative energies of each conformer.
