Question
Chapter 15, Problem 15.33P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Draw the structure alcohol with the molecular formula
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. Even isotopes are considered as different groups.

- 16-54 Several poisonous plants, including Atropa belladonna, contain the alkaloid atropine. The name “belladonna” (which means “beautiful lady”) probably comes from the fact that Roman women used extracts from this plant to make themselves more attractive. Atropine is widely used by ophthal mologists and optometrists to dilate the pupils for eye examination. Classify the amino group in atropine as primary, secondary, or tertiary. Locate all stereocenters in atropine. Account for the fact that atropine is almost insoluble in water (1 g in 455 mL of cold water) but atropine hydrogen sulfate is very soluble (1 g in 5 mL of cold water). Account for the fact that a dilute aqueous solution of atropine is basic (pH approximately 10.0).arrow_forward16-58 Following is a structural formula of desosamine, a sugar component of several macrolide antibiotics, including the erythromycins.
