3. Draw the structural formula of 3-bromo-2-chloropentane. Identify the chiral carbons with asterisks. Using 2n formula (n is number of chiral centers) calculate the number of stereoisomers. Construct 2 pairs of mirror images. Take one pair of the enantiomers, compare it with the either of the models of the second pair of enantiomers. Are these two molecules mirror images? Draw the fisher projections of the four stereoisomers and identify diastereomers.
