Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The chiral center in propranolol needs to be located.

Concept introduction:

A carbon center having all the different four substituents attached to it is known as a chiral center. If one of the four groups is the same, the carbon center will be achiral in nature.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The enantiomers of propranolol molecule needs to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

If the molecules have the chiral center, the different forms of the molecules which are optically active are known as enantiomers of each other.

(a) Locate the stereogenic centers in the ball-and-stick model of ezetimibe (trade name Zetia), a cholesterol-lowering drug. (b) Label each stereogenic center as R or S. ezetimibe
Locating Stereogenic Centers Locate the stereogenic centers in each drug. Albuterol is a bronchodilator— that is, it widens airways—so it is used to treat asthma. Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic used extensively in developing countries because of its low cost.
(a) assign R or S configuration to each chiral center, (b) Which compound are enantiomers? (c) Which compounds are diastereomers?
