Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: A plane of symmetry for the given molecule is to be indicated.

Concept introduction: Molecule having asymmetric center shows optical activity except meso compounds. Asymmetric center is a stereocenter which arises in hydrocarbons if the carbon is bonded to four different groups.

A compound with asymmetric centers possesses a plane of symmetry, so it is superimposable on its mirror image, thereby the compound is achiral.

Locate the plane of symmetry for each molecule. Some might require you to draw it after rotating around one of the C-C bonds to see the plane of symmetry.
1. Determine if the molecules are chiral (meaning they have chiral centers and lack of plane of symmetry) in the following molecules. For molecules in Newman projections or chairs, it might be helpful to draw the sawhorse or perspective drawing first. NH2 H. CH3 a. b. H3C. C. H3C H CH3 OH NH2 d. e. f. H
