How many tetrahedral stereogenic centers does PGF2α contain? Draw its enantiomer. How many of its double bonds can exhibit cis-trans isomerism? Considering both its double bonds and its tetrahedral stereogenic centers, how many stereoisomers are possible for PGFα?
Compound X and compound Y are constitutional isomers with the molecular formula C5H10. Compound X possesses a carbon-carbon double bond in the trans configuration, while compound Y possesses a carbon-carbon double bond that is not stereoisomeric:
Draw and name the six isomeric cyclopentane of molecular formula C7H14. These will include four constitutional isomers, of which two show geometric (cis-trans) stereoisomerism.
