(a)
Interpretation: The solubility of chondrocole A in water and
Concept introduction: The solubility of solute in solution depends upon the polarity of solute and solvent. The solute and solvent of same polarity are soluble with each other and insoluble if the polarity is different.
(b)
Interpretation: The stereogenic centers are to be identified and labeled as R or S.
Concept introduction: A carbon atom which is bonded to four different groups is termed as chiral center or stereogenic center. The groups around the stereogenic center are prioritized on the basis of
(c)
Interpretation: A stereoisomer and a constitution isomer of chondrocole A is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: A compound exhibits number of stereoisomers when it contains more than one stereogenic centers. The maximum number of stereoisomers a compound with
