Interpretation:
The reason why the given enantiomers of a compound can be separated even though the one of the group attached to nitrogen is a lone pair has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Stereoisomers are isomers which have different spatial arrangement in spite of same bond connectivity. Stereoisomers are due to the presence of stereocenter. Stereocenter may be an atom axis (bond) or plane from which interchanging of two groups leads to stereoisomers.
Enantiomers are stereoisomers, in which they are mirror images of each other.
Asymmetric center is a stereocenter which arises to a compound if any atom is bonded to four different groups.
If one of the four groups attached to nitrogen is lone pair, then inversion of amine takes place for acyclic
The bond angle of cyclopropane is

- Part D. Do the two structures A and B of each pair drawn below represent the same molecule, constitutional isomers, or stereoisomers? If A and B are stereoisomers, further classify them as enantiomers or diastereomers.arrow_forwardOnly three stereoisomers are possible for 2,3-dibromo-2, 3-dichlorobutane. Draw them, indicating which pair are enantiomers (optical isomers). Why does the other isomer not have an enantiomer?arrow_forward2. Using Newman projections looking along the C2-C3 bond, draw the lowest and highest energy conformations of 2,2,3-trimethylbutane.arrow_forward
- 2. Draw the R and S isomers of C9H19F then state where you will dispose it.arrow_forward2. Explain with a couple of acyclic or cyclic examples (5 carbons or more) what is crit- ical for you when establishing whether a molecule is chiral or acral.arrow_forward4. Draw and name 10 structural isomers consisting of 5 C aliphatics of molecular formulaC,H14.arrow_forward
- c. Redraw the structures of the two conformations of galactosamine, but with the ring bonds all on the plane of the paper (like the structure shown in Problem #5b above). Clearly indicate the cis/trans relationships of the ring substituents using wedged or dashed lines as appropriate. Place your answers in the boxes below.

- I'm confused as to why the chiral centers are the was they are. I understand that the horizontal lines are wedged and vertical are dashed. Wouldn't the first priority be the carboxylic acid, then alcohol, the carbon, and then the hydrogen? The book is saying that one method is to keep two of the straight lines and pick one group to be dashed and one to be wedged. Then switch the last priority group (H) with whatever group you chose to be on the dash. Whatever configuration you get, make it the opposite since you switched groups. And when I use this method I end up getting S when the top one should be R.arrow_forwardAnswer all questions pleasearrow_forwardHow many degrees of unsaturation does each of the following drugs contain? a. zolpidem (sleep aid sold as Ambien), C19H21N3O b. mefloquine (antimalarial drug), C17H16F6N2Oarrow_forward
