Chapter 5, Problem 66P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The configuration of the compound needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: Configuration of the compound tells about the rotation of the light. This is decided by the priority groups of the compound. Clockwise rotation gives S configuration otherwise R.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The transition states needs to be explained, when enzyme is not present.

Concept Introduction:Stereoisomers have same molecular formula but the groups arrangements are differ from each other. Stereoselctivity establishes a relation between transition states.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Effect of the enzyme in the transition states needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction:When an atom has four different groups, attached like a four hand then that atom is called chiral atom. An enzyme reduces the energy of transition states.
