Question
**Question 4:**
Which molecule is the enantiomer of this molecule?

**Molecule to Identify:**

- Structure: 
  - The central carbon is bonded to:
    - H (hydrogen)
    - Br (bromine)
    - CH3 (methyl group)
    - CH2Cl (chloromethyl group)

**Options:**

1. **Option 1:**
   - Structure:
     - Central carbon bonded to:
       - CH3 (methyl group)
       - Br (bromine)
       - H (hydrogen)
       - CH2Cl (chloromethyl group)

2. **Option 2:**
   - Structure:
     - Central carbon bonded to:
       - CH2Cl (chloromethyl group at the front)
       - Br (bromine at the back)
       - H (hydrogen)
       - CH3 (methyl group)

3. **Option 3:**
   - Structure:
     - Central carbon bonded to:
       - H3C (methyl group)
       - Br (bromine, shown with a solid wedge indicating it is in front)
       - H (hydrogen)
       - CH2Cl (chloromethyl group)

4. **Option 4:**
   - Structure:
     - Central carbon bonded to:
       - H3C (methyl group)
       - H (hydrogen, shown with a solid wedge indicating it is in front)
       - CH2Cl (chloromethyl group)
       - Br (bromine)

The task is to identify the enantiomer of the given structure by choosing the option where the spatial arrangement of the groups around the chiral carbon is the mirror image of the original molecule.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Enantiomers which are mirror image to each other or complete configuration should change from (R,S)to (S,R)

Diastereomers which are not mirror image to each other or partially configuration should change from (R,S)to (R,R)

Same compund means both have same configuration from (R,R)to (R,R)
