Interpretation:
Out of all molecules drawn in Problem 5.48, the optically active molecules are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Stereoisomers which differ in their spatial arrangement of atoms and which are non-superimposable on their mirror image are called chiral molecules. The asymmetric center in the molecule is called the chiral center.
The maximum number of configurational isomers that can exist for a given molecule is calculated by the formula
