Chapter 5.8, Problem 22P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The possible stereoisomers of given compound are to be drawn and the pairs of enantiomers and diastereomers are to be labeled.

Concept introduction: A compound exhibits number of stereoisomers when it contains more than one stereogenic centers. The maximum number of stereoisomers a compound with n number of stereogenic centers can show is 2n. A carbon atom which is bonded to four different groups is termed as chiral center or stereogenic center. Two compounds which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are known as enantiomers. Whereas two compounds which are neither superimposable nor mirror images to each other are known as diastereomer.
