The stereoisomers for
Concept introduction:
Isomer: A molecule having the same molecular formula but with different chemical structure is called isomer.
Enantiomers: A compound which is non-superimposable mirror image is called enantiomers.
Diastereomers: A compound which is non-superimposable non-mirror image is called diastereomers
Racemic mixture: A racemic mixture is simply a mixture containing an equal amount of each enantiomer.
Stereoisomers are isomers which have different spatial arrangement in spite of same bond connectivity. Stereoisomers are due to the presence of stereocenter.
A carbon attached by four different groups is called a stereocenter.
Mesocompounds have a plane of symmetry in there structure, so it will have superimposable mirror image thereby no enantiomers.
The pair of Enantiomers is non-superimposable mirror images of each other.

- Isobutylene, CH2=C(CH3)2, is used to prepare cold-flow rubber. Draw a structure for the addition polymer formed from this alkene.arrow_forward2-butanol can be formed as the only product of the Markovnikov addition of H2O to two different alkenes. In contrast, 2-octanol can be formed as the only product of the Markovnikov addition of H2O to just one alkene. To examine the difference, draw the alkene starting materials of each alcohol. Draw the bond-line (skeletal) structures of the two alkene starting materials that can be used to synthesize 2-butanol via Markovnikov hydration. Part 1 of 2 Click and drag to start drawing a structure. : ☐ ☑ ⑤arrow_forwardFollowing are Fischer projections for a group of five-carbon sugars, all of which are aldopentoses. Identify the pairs that are enantiomers and the pairs that are epimers. (The sugars shown here are not all of the possible five-carbon )arrow_forward
