(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The three-dimensional structures of the two stereoisomers formed, specifying the configurations at each asymmetric carbon atom are to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Stereoisomers are the compounds in which molecular formula of a compound remains same but positions of different atoms or groups are changed to form new compounds. Stereoisomerism comprises of geometrical and optical isomers. The optical isomer only exist if symmetry is absent in compounds, whereas, the geometrical isomerism relies upon the attachment of different ligand.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The relationship between the stereoisomers that are drawn in part (a) is to be stated.

2. Draw ALL possible structural and stereochemical (if applicable) isomers. Please include enols (if oxygen is present) and enamines (if nitrogen is present), and any E and Z isomers in this analysis. a. C₂H4O b. a. C₂H₂O C. b. C4H₂O C₂H₂N
What statements correctly describe organometallic compounds? A. They have an ionic bond because the bond is between a metal and a nonmetal B. They are transformed into hydrocarbons by reacting with CH3OH or CH3COOH C. They have a polar covalent bond which makes carbon a nucleophile and an electrophile D. They react with epoxides to give an alcohol after hydrolysis. E. They are prepared by reacting an arene, alkene or alkane with alkali metals or group II and some transition. F. All are prepared by direct reaction of the metal of interest with any organic halide.
Amino acids such as glycine are the building blocks of large molecules called proteins that give structure to muscle, tendon, hair, and nails. a. Explain why glycine does not actually exist in the form with all atoms uncharged, but actually exists as a salt called a zwitterion. b. What product is formed when glycine is treated with concentrated HCl? c. What product is formed when glycine is treated with NaOH?
