Chapter 5, Problem 54IP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The bond-line structure should be draw and identified for the given molecule by using its structures.

Concept Introduction:

Fisher projection: The concept used for horizontal and vertical lines to represent the 3D state, the horizontal lines represents attachments pointing out of the plane towards us and a vertical line represents attachments pointing out of the back place. This interaction represents the central carbon atoms. More over Fisher projection can be used to simply represent absolute configuration of chiral compounds at their stereo center. An advantage of such structures is that they can easily represent multiple stereo center and allow easy identification of plane of symmetry etc.,

Chiral: The single chiral atoms (or) same structural feature in a compound cause that compound to have two possible structure which are non-superimposable each mirror image of the other it is called chiral.

Configuration: The spatial arrangement of the atoms of a chiral molecular group and its stereo chemical description R and S it is referring to (+R) or (-S).
