Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The fluorine atoms in the given compound which are the diastereotopic fluorines, the enantiotopic fluorines, the homotopic fluorines, and the constitutionally nonequivalent fluorines are to be identified.
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.
(b)
Interpretation:
The fluorine atoms in the given compound which are the diastereotopic fluorines, the enantiotopic fluorines, the homotopic fluorines, and the constitutionally nonequivalent fluorines are to be identified.
