PGF2α is a prostaglandin, a group of compounds that are responsible for inflammation (Section 19.6). (a) How many tetrahedral stereogenic centers does PGF2α contain? (b) How many double bonds can exist as cis and trans isomers? (c) Considering both double bonds and tetrahedral stereogenic centers, what is the maximum number of stereoisomers that can exist for PGF2α?

Stereoisomers share the same connectivity and differ only in the way their atoms are arranged in space. Draw the structure of a compound that is a stereoisomer of
2.
Identify the type of stereoisomerism in each of the following molecules and draw the
stereoisomer pair.
(a)
CH;CH=CHCOH
(b)
CgH;CH2CH(NH2)CH3
The molecule 2,5-dibromohex-3-ene contains three stereogenic sites: a double bond that can
be cis- or trans- and two chirality centers that can be either (R) or (S).
Draw structures for and name all possible stereoisomers of 2,5-dibromohex-3-ene.
HINT: That means a possible total of 2³ stereoisomers, but there's also the potential for high
symmetry or meso stereoisomers, which then reduces the total number of possibilities.
Put boxes around pairs of enantiomers, and label meso compounds as "meso," as
appropriate.
