Chapter 14, Problem 21P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

All the stereocenters should be marked using asterisk in the given molecule and identify the number of possible stereoisomers.

Concept Introduction:

The stereocenter is generated in an organic compound due to presence of chiral carbon.

The chiral carbon is the carbon bearing all the four groups different.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

All the stereocenters should be marked using asterisk in the given molecule and identify the number of possible stereoisomers.

Concept Introduction:

The stereocenter is generated in an organic compound due to presence of chiral carbon.

The chiral carbon is the carbon bearing all the four groups different. The stereocenter may also be generated due to presence of asymmetric double bond.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

All the stereocenters should be marked using asterisk in the given molecule and identify the number of possible stereoisomers.

Concept Introduction:

The stereocentre is generated in an organic compound due to presence of chiral carbon. The chiral carbon is the carbon bearing all the four groups different.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

All the stereocenters should be marked using asterisk in the given molecule and identify the number of possible stereoisomers.

Concept Introduction:

The stereocentre is generated in an organic compound due to presence of chiral carbon.

The chiral carbon is the carbon bearing all the four groups different.
