(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: Each asymmetric carbon atom and if it has (R) or (S) configuration.

Interpretation: Each asymmetric carbon atom is to be marked and its configuration is to be identified.

Concept introduction: The two different forms in which a single chiral carbon can exist is referred to as enantiomers. The number of enantiomers of a molecule depends on the number of chiral centres. Enantiomers have opposite (R) and (S) configuration.

(b)

Choose the best definition of diastereomers. A) Two molecules with the same molecular formula and identical connections between atoms. B) Two molecules with the same molecular formula, but different connections. C) Two molecules with the same molecular formula and same connections. These two molecules are mirror images that are not superimposable. D) Two molecules with the same molecular formula and same connections. These two molecules are NOT mirror images, but still have a different 3D projection. E) Two molecules that have the same molecular formula and same connections. These molecules differ in their rotation around single bonds.
This problem considers the conformational isomers of 2-methyl-butane shown below. The label for each carbon is indicated in red. Also shown is the Newman projection for the bond between carbons 2 and 3. The Newman projection is shown at its 0o position. The angle increases with clockwise rotation of the bonds on carbon 2. Which rotation angle(s) has(have) the lowest energy? (select all that apply) Which rotation angle(s) has(have) the highest energy? (select all that apply). Which rotation angle(s) has(have) a local anergy minima that is(are) not the lowest energy possible? (select all that apply).
a) Draw one isomer of C6H14. b) Draw one isomer of C6H12- c) Draw one isomer of C6H140 that exhibits hydrogen bonding. d) Draw one isomer of C6H140 that is not capable of hydrogen bonding. BONUS: Show all locations of possible hydrogen bonding for the C6H140 isomer that you drew above in part c.
