Question
Chapter 14, Problem 27P
.
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The chiral molecule/s needs to be identified from the three related angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. The number of stereoisomers possible needs to be identified for each chiral molecule. The three structures need to be compared with captopril and similarity among four drugs needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
A molecule is said to be chiral if it is non-superimposable with its mirror image. For example, left and right hands. These two non-superimposable mirror images of chiral molecules are known as enantiomers.

Chiral compounds have a so-called asymmetric carbon atom in the molecular structure, and are opticalactive. Study the following organic molecule containing two −? − ? – groups (thiol) andwhich is a medicine against various types of metal poisoning, including against arsenic, mercury and lead: Image
Based on this skeletal structure, judge whether this molecule is chiral. Give reasons for your answer.Suggest an IUPAC name for the molecule that takes into account all the given functional groups.
The molecule 2,5-dibromohex-3-ene contains three stereogenic sites: a double bond that can
be cis- or trans- and two chirality centers that can be either (R) or (S).
Draw structures for and name all possible stereoisomers of 2,5-dibromohex-3-ene.
HINT: That means a possible total of 2³ stereoisomers, but there's also the potential for high
symmetry or meso stereoisomers, which then reduces the total number of possibilities.
Put boxes around pairs of enantiomers, and label meso compounds as "meso," as
appropriate.

the IR,25,5R-stereoisomer. (a) Identify (2)-menthol from the structures you drew for Problem 50, part
(b). (b) Another of the naturally occurring diastereomers of menthol is (1)-isomenthol, the 1S 2R5R-
stereoisomer. Identify (1)-isomenthol among your structures. (c) A third is (1)-neomenthol, the
15.25,SR-compound. Find (1)-neomenthol among your structures. (d) Based on your understanding of
the conformations of substituted cyclohexanes (Section 4-4), what is the stability order (from most
stable to least) for the three diastereomers, menthol, isomenthol, and neomenthol?
