Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Possible number of stereoisomers for the given compound has to be detected.
Concept Introduction:
Stereoisomers: The molecule that have same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms, but different in the three-dimensional orientation of their in space.
Chiral: Chiral molecules contain at least one carbon atom with four non-identical substitutions (or) groups. This type of molecule is called a chiral center.
Diastereomers: This type of stereoisomers that ae not mirror images of one another and non-superimposable on one another. Molecule with two or more stereocenters it can be diastereomers.
Meso isomers: The molecule with multiple stereocenters that is superimposable on tit mirror images. Meso compounds are achiral that are multiple chiral center.
(b)
Interpretation:
The stereoisomers of given compound that can be formed from oxidation of (S)-4-methylcyclohexene with Osmium tetroxide has to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Stereoisomers: The molecule that have same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms, but different in the three-dimensional orientation of their in space.
An
(c)
Interpretation:
Whether product formed in part (b) is either optically active or not has to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Stereoisomers: The molecule that have same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms, but different in the three-dimensional orientation of their in space.
Chirality: The presence of four different atoms (or groups) at carbon is known as asymmetric carbon and is known as chiral center of the compound. Chiral compounds are optically active.
