Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The given pair of compounds is to be classified as enantiomers, epimers, diastereomers but not epimers or constutitional isomers of each other.
Concept introduction: Two compounds which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are known as enantiomers, two compounds which are neither superimposable nor mirror images to each other are known as diastereomers and two compound in which the configuration of one of their stereogenic centers is different are known as epimers.

- Where are the chiral centers in this molecule? Also is this compound meso yes or no?arrow_forwardA mixture of C7H12O2, C9H9OCl, biphenyl and acetone was put together in a gas chromatography tube. Please decide from the GC resutls which correspond to the peak for C7,C9 and biphenyl and explain the reasoning based on GC results. Eliminate unnecessary peaks from Gas Chromatography results.arrow_forwardIs the molecule chiral, meso, or achiral? CI .CH3 H₂C CIarrow_forward
