Chapter 11, Problem 11.55E
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structural formula of the given compound is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Those compounds which have the same molecular formula but have different arrangements of atoms are known as isomers. The phenomenon is called as isomerism. The isomers are generally classified as structural isomers and stereoisomers. Stereoisomers are further divided into two categories diastereomers and enantiomers.
