(b)
Interpretation:
The structure for the given molecule is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
When assigning priorities to substituents, the atom having the greater atomic number has a higher priority. In the case of comparison between isotopes, the one having the greater atomic mass gets the higher priority. When the fourth priority substituent is pointing away (it is attached by a dash bond) and the first, second and third priority substituents are arranged clockwise, the configuration is R. When the fourth priority substituent is pointing away (it is attached by a dash bond) and the first, second and third priority substituents are arranged counterclockwise, the configuration is S. If the fourth priority substituent is attached by a wedge bond, then the clockwise or counterclockwise arrangement of the first, second and third priority substituents is determined and that arrangement is reversed before assigning R or S. If the fourth priority substituent is in the plane of the page, then it is switched with the substituent that points away. Then the clockwise or counterclockwise arrangement of the first, second and third priority substituents is determined and that arrangement is reversed before assigning R or S. When writing the IPUAC name, the R or S designation is written in parenthesis for each asymmetric carbon atom and hyphens are used to separate those designations from the rest of the IUPAC name.

- Which do you expect to be the more stable conformation of cis-1,3-dimethylcyclobutane, A or B? Why?arrow_forwardConsider the molecule 1-bromo-2-methylbutane. C3 and C4 should be drawn as Et as in theexample. This group is called an ethyl group and can be considered a sphere about twice the sizeof a methyl group. Draw the following Newman projections sighting down the C1C2 bond... a. The lowest potential energy conformation. b. The highest potential energy staggered conformation.arrow_forward(a) How many stereogenic double bonds are in octa-1,3,5-triene? How many stereocenters are there? Draw and name the four stereoisomers of octa-1,3,5-triene.arrow_forward
- a. How many vinylic hydrogens does cyclopentene have? b. How many allylic hydrogens does it have?arrow_forwardRank the following groups in order of decreasing priority. −H, −CH3, −Cl, −CH2Clarrow_forwardCycloheptatrienyl radical (C7H7∙) contains a cyclic, completely conjugated system of π electrons. Is it aromatic? Is it antiaromatic? Explain.arrow_forward
- For the 1,2-dichlorocyclohexane stereoisomers, which conformation of the trans stereoisomer has the lower energy, the diaxial or the diequatorial conformer? Which isomer and conformation of the three you built has the lowest energy? E of all the isomers of 1,2-dichlorocyclohexane. Explain the differences in energy, i.e., identify the sources of strain in the conformations you built. Show the sources of strain in a drawing.arrow_forwardDraw the highest and lowest energy conformations. In cases where two or three conformations are degenerate, choose only one as your anwser. Use Pr, Me, H, Et in the structures.arrow_forwardplease answer quickly and correctly please round to 3 sig figsarrow_forward
