Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Diastereomer for the given compound has to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Chiral center: A chiral center is defined as the tetrahedral carbon atom in an organic molecule that is connected to four non-identical groups/substituents. It is sometimes known as a stereo genic center.
Diastereomers: These are stereoisomers that are not enantiomers of one another; they are not mirror objects of each other. They have different physical properties so that they are viewed as different chemical substances.
(b)

- 18-18 Propanoic acid and methyl acetate are constitutional isomers, and both are liquids at room temperature. One of these compounds has a boiling point of 141°C; the other has a boiling point of 57°C. Which compound has which boiling point? Explain.arrow_forward16-58 Following is a structural formula of desosamine, a sugar component of several macrolide antibiotics, including the erythromycins. The configuration shown here is that of the natural product. Erythromycin is produced by a strain of Streptomyces erythreus originally found in a soil sample from the Philippine Archipelago. ch3 T Desosamine Name all the functional groups in desosamine. (Chapter 10) How many stereocenters are present in desosamine? How many stereoisomers are possible for it? How many pairs of enantiomers are possible for it? Draw the alternative chair conformations for desosamine and label which groups are equatorial and which are axial.

(a) There are three carbon—carbon double bonds present in this molecule. Which of the three has the potential for cis/trans isomerism? Assign a cis or trans con?guration to each carbon-carbon double bond that has this possibility. (b) How many stereocenters are present in this molecule? How many stereoisomers are possible for it? (c) Are there any aromatic components in this molecule? (d) Consider the two carbon atoms marked with asterisks. Assign an R or S con?guration of each stereocenter. (e) Because of the presence of a 21-member ring, this molecule is described as a macrocycle. This ring is fashioned by three types of bonds, several carbon-carbon bonds, one ester, one hemiacetal, and one amide. Locate the ester and the hemiacetal. (f) Draw the structural formula of the long chain compound that would result if the hemiacetal were to be cleaved to an alcohol and a carbonyl group.arrow_forward
