Chapter 5, Problem 5.56P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: All the possible stereoisomers for the given compound are to be drawn. The pairs of enantiomers, diastereomers and meso compounds are to be labeled.

Concept introduction: The two compounds which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are known as enantiomers, whereas two compounds which are neither superimposable nor mirror images to each other are known as diastereomer.

A meso compound is an optically inactive compound which has chiral centers and has a plane of symmetry.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: All the possible steroisomers for the given compound are to be drawn. The pairs of enantiomers, diastereomers and meso compounds are to be labeled.

Concept introduction: A compound exhibits number of stereoisomers when it contains more than one stereogenic centers. The maximum number of stereoisomers a compound with n number of stereogenic centers can show is 2n. A carbon atom which is bonded to four different groups is termedaschiralcenter or stereogenic center.

The two compounds which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are known as enantiomers, whereas two compounds which are neither superimposable nor mirror images to each other are known as diastereomer.

A meso compound is an optically inactive compound which has chiral centers and has a plane of symmetry.
