Chapter 4, Problem 30P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the five given isomers, the isomers that are chiral, constitutional isomers, stereoisomers, enantiomers, and diastereomers of each other are to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

A molecule is said to be chiral if it has no plane of symmetry or center of symmetry present in it.

Constitutional isomer is the one which has the same molecular formula but different structural formula, that is, the groups or atoms are connected in different position.

Enantiomers are non-superimposable mirror images of each other, whereas diastereomers are non-superimposable non-mirror images of each other.

For diastereomers, we need at least two chiral centers in the molecule.

Consider compounds I, II, . How are I and II related to each other? (enantiomers, diastereomers, constitutional isomers, two conformers of the same molecule, not related). Explain. OH HO Br Br
Structure A Br C H3C H CH2CH3 Structure B CH3 BrC H CH2CH3 Determine the relationship between the structures above. Are they the same molecule, constitutional isomers, or stereoisomers? If A and B are stereoisomers, futher classify them as diastereomers or enantiomers. OA and B are the same molecule OA and B are constitutional isomers OA and B are stereoisomers and diastereomers OA and B are stereoisomers and enantiomers
Draw all possible stereoisomers for HC=OCHClCHClCH2Br. Label the compounds as Compound I, II, etc.. Determine the relation of each of these compounds to another (pair relations as enantiomers, diastereomer, mesocompound or no relations).
