Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Structures of A and B should be identified as constitutional isomers, stereo isomers or not isomers of each other.
Concept Introduction:
Isomers are the different molecules that have the same molecular formula but differ in molecular arrangement in the space. There are several groups of isomers.
Stereoisomers are the form of isomers which have different three-dimensional orientations in the space.
Constitutional isomers are the form of isomers which have atoms bonded to each other in different ways.
(b)
Interpretation:
Structures of A and C should be identified as constitutional isomers, stereo isomers or not isomers of each other.
Concept Introduction:
Alkenes are hydrocarbon molecules that consist of a carbon-carbon double bond which has the general formula of

- Are compounds with different placement of double/triple bonds considered stereoisomers or constitutional isomers?arrow_forward12. Isomerism: Classify each pair of compounds below as either identical molecules, or constitutional isomers, or stereoisomers, or not isomers of each other. Place one of the following letter designations on the line beside each pair: I = identical C = constitutional isomers a. b. C. R R R S = stereoisomers N = not isomersarrow_forwardDraw the ve constitutional isomers having molecular formula C6H14.arrow_forward

- Q1: The shrub ma huang 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, while pseudoephedrine is a nasal decongestant. a. Draw the structure of naturally occurring (-)-ephedrine, which has the 1R, 25 configuration. b. Draw the structure of naturally occurring (+)- pseudoephedrine, which has the 15,25 configuration. c. How are ephedrine and pseudoephedrine related? N, d. Draw all other stereoisomers of (-)-ephedrine and (+)-pseudoephedrine and give the R,S designation for all stereogenic centers.
