Chapter 10, Problem 10.34P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Whether the reaction between the compounds given in the illustration leads to the formation of chiral ethanol or not is to be stated. The line-and-wedge formula of chiral ethanol formed is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The two hydrogens of ethanol are enantiotopic in nature. That is substitution of one hydrogen by another group will lead to R-isomer while the other will lead to S-isomer. The alcohol dehydrogenase reaction of isotopically substituted ethanol can be carried out in order to distinguish them as the reaction is stereospecific in nature.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Whether the reaction between the compounds in the given illustration leads to the formation of chiral ethanol or not is to be stated. The line-and-wedge formula of chiral ethanol formed is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The two hydrogens of ethanol are enantiotopic in nature. That is substitution of one hydrogen by another group will lead to R-isomer while for the other will lead to S-isomer. The alcohol dehydrogenase reaction of isotopically substituted ethanol is carried out then the two isomers can easily be identified.
