Chapter 10, Problem 10.33P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The indicated groups are constitutionally equivalent or non-equivalent is to be identified. The indicated groups are to be classified as homotopic, enantiotopic, or diastereotopic when they are constitutionally equivalent.

Concept introduction:

The groups which are chemically nondistinguishable are termed as constitutionally equivalent. The groups which are chemically distinguishable are termed as constitutionally nonequivalent. The constitutionally equivalent groups can be further divided into three categories homotopic, enantiotopic, and diastereotopic.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The indicated groups are constitutionally equilvalent or non-equivalent is to be identified. The indicated groups are to be classified as homotopic, enantiotopic, or diastereotopic when they are constitutionally equivalent.

Concept introduction:

The groups which are chemically nondistinguishable are termed as constitutionally equivalent. The groups which are chemically distinguishable are termed as constitutionally nonequivalent. The constitutionally equivalent groups can be further divided into three categories homotopic, enantiotopic, and diastereotopic.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The indicated groups are constitutionally equivalent or non-equivalent is to be identified. The indicated groups are to be classified as homotopic, enantiotopic, or diastereotopic when they are constitutionally equivalent.

Concept introduction:

The groups which are chemically nondistinguishable are termed as constitutionally equivalent. The groups which are chemically distinguishable are termed as constitutionally nonequivalent. The constitutionally equivalent groups can be further divided into three categories homotopic, enantiotopic, and diastereotopic.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:
