Chapter 5, Problem 5.77P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

All possible isomers of an optically active compound with the molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}$ are to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Optically active compound contain one or more chiral centers. A compound with more than one chiral center may be optically active only if it does not contain an internal plane of symmetry. Isomers of optically active compound can be obtained by inverting the configuration at the chiral centers.
