Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The Fischer projection of both the enantiomers of 2-pentanolneeds to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
For a molecule with the chiral center, the Fischer projection formula is written to describe the stereo arrangement of atoms in two dimensions. For large molecules with more than 1 stereocenters are also represent their stereochemistry using the Fischer Projection. The carbon chain of the molecule containing the chiral carbon center is represented as a vertical line with chiral carbon at the center. Two other groups are then horizontally arranged around the chiral carbon atom.
(b)
Interpretation:
The Fischer projection of both the enantiomers of 1,2-dichlorobutane needs to be drawn.
