A. Construct two models of 1-bromo-1-chloroethane. Test to see if the two models are superimposable on one another. If they are superimposable, change the position of Br and Cl on one model. Now you have two models that are not superimposable. These two are enantiomers, non-superimposable mirror image isomers. (Turn, twist, rotate, do anything that you want to these models except interchange the positions of the groups; they remain non-superimposable.) Position these enantiomers so that they appear as mirror images. Arrange them so that the Br is on top and the CH3 is on the bottom of the chiral carbon atom, and the H and Cl are coming out of the plane toward you. Now draw the projection formulas for these enantiomers. Br

4. For each pair of molecules, assign the configuration at each chiral center as R or S. Give the relationship between the pair of molecules as no relation, constitutional isomers, same molecule but not meso, same molecule and meso, enantiomers, or diastereomers. There should only be one possible answer. a. OH OH b. Br Br с. NH2 NH2 NH2 NH2 d. HO НО
ITEM #5 (Everyone should look at this question). Consider the two Fischer projections shown at right. They CH CH are NOT of the same molecule. H- -HO- HO In a short paragraph, explain why the molecules shown are NOT the same. OH но- H. HO. но In your explanation, describe how the groups of a Fischer projection are positioned in the ACTUAL molecule (Are the molecules flat in real life, or three-dimensional in real life? If three-dimensional, where exactly are the Hs and OHs positioned when one interprets these projections?) H- HO но H- CH,OH ČH;OH Also in your explanation, describe why the second molecule is not simply the first molecule flipped over (like a pancake).
