(a)
Interpretation:
Whether two molecules A and B, which are isomers of each other, are enantiomers, diastereomers, or constitutional isomers is to be determined for the condition that they have the same IHD.
Concept introduction:
If two molecules are isomers, they have the same molecular formula. If they have different connectivity of atoms, they are constitutional isomers. If they have the same connectivity, they must be stereoisomers. Stereoisomers may be enantiomers or diastereomers, depending on whether they have nonsuperimposable mirror images.

- Using what we have learned in CHEM 2310 and up through class on 1/31, propose a series of reaction steps to achieve the transformation below. Be sure to show all reagents and intermediates for full credit. You do not need to draw mechanism arrows, but you do need to include charges where appropriate. If you do not put your group name, you will get half credit at most. ?
