Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.36P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Chiral carbon atoms present in nepetalactone has to be labelled. The number of possible stereoisomers for nepetalactone has to be given and to show that nepetalactone is a terpene.
Concept Introduction:
Terpenes are made by joining five-carbon units, usually in a head to tail-fashion.
Isoprene unit:
Branched end of isoprene – Head
Unbranched end of isoprene - Tail
Chirality: It refers to a Carbon atom in a molecule that contains four different substituents.
Stereoisomers: Two compounds with same molecular formula but different in their orientation are considered as isomers.
Number of possible stereoisomers for a compound can be determined as,

Draw tartaric acid - 2,3-Dihydroxybutanedioic acid (-dioic means two carboxylgroups), how many stereo isomers will this molecule have? How many of these isomers will be chiral?
The molecule 2,5-dibromohex-3-ene contains three stereogenic sites: a double bond that can
be cis- or trans- and two chirality centers that can be either (R) or (S).
Draw structures for and name all possible stereoisomers of 2,5-dibromohex-3-ene.
HINT: That means a possible total of 2³ stereoisomers, but there's also the potential for high
symmetry or meso stereoisomers, which then reduces the total number of possibilities.
Put boxes around pairs of enantiomers, and label meso compounds as "meso," as
appropriate.
Give the stereochemical relationships between each pair of structures. Examples are same compound, structural isomers, enantiomers, diastereomers. Which pairs could you (theoretically) separate by distillation or recrystallization?*refer to the photo below
