Identify the stereogenic carbon in (S)- and (R)-limonene, rank the substituents around it and rationalize the assignment of their stereochemical configurations. Hint: When ranking carbons that have multiple bonds, consider the bolded carbon of C=C being connected to 2 carbons and the bolded carbon of C≡C being connected to 3 carbons

Draw all the isomers of C5H₁0. Clearly show stereochemistry if stereoisomers are possible. Step 1: Start by drawing all the isomers with double bonds. • Consider constitutional isomers, then stereoisomers. Step 2: Draw all isomers containing a ring. • Consider constitutional isomers, then stereoisomers. Step 2: Next consider isomers containing a ring. The largest ring possible with this molecular formula contains 5 carbons, while the smallest possible ring contains 3 carbons. Draw an isomer containing a 5-carbon ring. Rings More Select Draw / C H Erase Consider a 4-carbon ring of C5H₁0. Draw stereoisomers, if applicable. Select Draw Rings More C H Erase
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 trans-1,2-dibromocyclobutane.(Note that the question asks for a different stereoisomer of the named compound and not the named compound itself.)Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists.In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one.
It is easy to imagine a cyclohexane as a flat hexagon and a lot of the time we draw it that way. Looking at 1,3,5-triethylcyclohexane we cannot tell the stability of the molecule from looking at the flat 2D drawing. Explain why we need to look at the 3D configuration and what conformation (axial,equatorial) would each of the three ethyl groups be in for the most stable configuration.
One of the isomers of 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydroxycyclohexane, called myo-Inositol, acts as a growth factor in both animals and microorganisms. Draw the most stable chair conformation of myo-Inositol (Note: account the wedge and dash projection). Draw the most stable cis-trans stereoisomer of myo-Inositol. OH HO ОН HO "OH ОН

Draw all constitutional isomers of all-cis ethylmethylisopropylcyclohexane—that is, in which a methyl group (CH3), an ethyl group (CH2CH3), and an isopropyl group [CH(CH3)2] are all bonded to a cyclohexane ring on the same side of the ring’s plane. Which of those isomers do you think is the most stable? Explain
