Chapter 5, Problem 36P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The three-dimensional formula with the help of dashes and wedges for bonds is to be drawn. All unshared electron pairs and hydrogen bonds are to be shown. The (R) or (S) configuration of the enantiomers is to be specified.

Concept introduction:

The molecules that are nonsuperimposable or not identical with their mirror images are known as chiral molecules.

A pair of two mirror images that are nonidentical is known as enantiomers, which are optically active.

The stereoisomers that are nonsuperimposable on each other and not mirror images of each other are known as diastereomers.

The achiral compounds in which plane of symmetry is present internally and consists of chiral centres are known as meso compounds, but they are optically inactive.

Each center is analyzed separately, if the compound contains more than one chirality center.

The designation of each carbon is determined by using the numbers.

When the order of progression from the group of highest priority to that of the next highest priority is clockwise, it is said to be the (R) configuration

When the order of progression from the group of highest priority to that of the next highest priority is anticlockwise, then it is said to be the (S) configuration.

Albuterol is the generally recommended asthma medication. It is a medication that opens the airways by relaxing the muscles in the walls of the airways.
