Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The number of stereochemically distinct salts formed needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction: The carbon atoms containing 4 different groups attached to it are chiral carbon. Depending on the configuration they can be classified as ( R ) and ( S ). In the R configuration, the arrangement of the priority group is in clockwise direction on the other hand, in the S configuration the arrangement of the priority group is in the anticlockwise direction.
(b)
Interpretation: The stereochemical relationship between the products formed in the reaction needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The type isomers which are non-superimposable non-mirror image of each other are known as diastereomers. On the other hand, the isomers which are non-superimposable mirror image of each other are known as enantiomers.
(c)
Interpretation: The pair of salts that can be separated by crystallization needs to be determined. Also, the pairs that are inseparable need to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The type isomers which are non-superimposable non-mirror image of each other are known as diastereomers. On the other hand, the isomers which are non-superimposable mirror image of each other are known as enantiomers.

Would you expect the product to exhibit optical activity? Explain, with reference to the mechanism.arrow_forward8. One stereoregular form of polystyrene (A) has a 'H NMR spectrum containing a triplet centered at about 1.4 ppm and a quintet at about 1.9 ppm. Another stereoregular form (B) has an octet at about 1.6 ppm and a quintet at about 2.3 ppm. (Both spectra also exhibit phenyl proton resonances further downfield.) Interpret the spectra and determine which corresponds to isotactic and which to syndiotactic. (Syndiotactic polystyrene was first reported by N. Ishihara and co-workers in a 1986 paper. You may wish to locate the paper and check your answer.)arrow_forwardWrite the structures of cis-2-butene and trans-2-butene. Circle the stereoisomer with the higher melting point.
