Chapter 5, Problem 19PP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The relation between the pairs 1 and 4, 2 and 3, and 2 and 4 are to be determined. The physical properties that are similar between pairs 1 and 3 are to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other are diastereomers.

Diastereomers have different physical properties, such as different solubilities, different melting points, different boiling points, and so on.

Stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other are enantiomers.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
(a) All Isomers have the same molecular formulae. Explain this further. Hint what does it mean to have the same molecular formulae? (b) What is Constitutional (structural) isomerism? Hint, isomers are different, so what is different between a pair of constitutional isomers (see the chart on the last page for examples). (c) What is Conformational isomerism?
If either of the following molecules has a stereogenic carbon (chirality center), give structures for both of the enantiomers.               (a)  2-bromopropane                           (b) 2-bromobutane
