Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structure and mirror images of (R)-2-butyl (R,R)-tartrate and (S)-2-butyl (R,R)-tartrate are to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The enantiomers of a chiral compound can be named with the help of right hand and left hand configuration. In fisher projection, chiral carbon atom is represented by a cross. When two groups on a fisher projection are interchanged, the configuration of chiral carbon also changes from (R) to (S) aur (S) to (R).

To determine: The structure and mirror images of (R)-2-butyl (R,R)-tartrate and (S)-2-butyl (R,R)-tartrate.

5. Propose a Synthesis for the molecule below. You may use any starting materials containing 6 carbons or less (reagents that aren't incorporated into the final molecule such as PhзP do not count towards this total, and the starting material can have whatever non-carbon functional groups you want), and any of the reactions you have learned so far in organic chemistry I, II, and III. Your final answer should show each step separately, with intermediates and conditions clearly drawn. H3C CH3
