Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.49P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The two enantiomers of the amino acid leucine, HOOCCH(NH2)CH2CH(CH3)2, has to be drawn and each enantiomer must be labelled as R or S.
Concept introduction: Enantiomers are the non-superimposable mirror images of each other. Optical isomers are given R and S configuration by sequence rule that is by assigning 1 to 4 priorities to the substituents attached at the chiral center on the basis of their

The quantitative differences in biological activity between the two enantiomers of a compound are sometimes quite large. For example, the D isomer of the drug isoproterenol, used to treat mild asthma, is 50 to 80times more effective as a bronchodilator than the L isomer. Identify the chiral center in isoproterenol. Why do the two enantiomers have such radically different bioactivity?
High serum cholesterol levels often correlate with increased risk of heart attacks. The structure of cholesterol is shown below. Identify the chiral centers.
How many chiral centers are there in cholesterol?
In the box below draw the tetrahedral representation of the R enantiomer of the amino acid valine, CH3CH(CH3)CH(NH2)CO2H.
