Concept Introduction:
First, give priority according to Cahn-Ingold-Prelog convention rules:
The higher the
If priority cannot be assigned according to atomic mass, then assign the priority according to the first point of difference.
After giving priority to four groups, rotate the molecule such that the fourth priority group is at horizontal position.
Now, move from 1-2-3; if it is clockwise, then it is
Enantiomers have opposite

- 5.57 The shrub ma huang (Section 5.4A) contains two biologically active stereoisomers-ephedrine and pseudoephedrine-with two stereogenic centers as shown in the given structure. Ephedrine is one component of a once-popular combination drug used by body builders to increase energy and alertness, whereas pseudoephedrine is a nasal decongestant. a. Draw the structure of naturally occurring (-)-ephedrine, which has the 1R,2S configuration. b. Draw the structure of naturally occurring (+)-pseudoephedrine, which has the 1S,2S configuration. c. How are ephedrine and pseudoephedrine related? d. Draw all other stereoisomers of (-)-ephedrine and (+)- pseudoephedrine, and give the R,S designation for all stereogenic centers. e. How is each compound drawn in part (d) related to (-)-ephedrine?arrow_forwardClassify the pair of compounds as the same compound, enantiomers, diastereomers, constitutional isomers, or not isomeric.. Also, select the correct IUPAC name, including the correct (R) or (S) designation, for each.
