Interpretation:
The possible stereoisomer’s has to be shown if the product is chiral.
Concept introduction:
Isomer: A molecule having the same molecular formula but with different chemical structure is called isomer.
Enantiomers: A compound which is non-superimposable mirror image is called enantiomers.
Diastereomers: A compound which is non-superimposable and non-mirror image is called diastereomers.
Racemic mixture: A racemic mixture is simply a mixture containing an equal amount of each enantiomer.
Achiral:
A molecule is superimposable on its mirror image is called achiral molecule.

(a) 1-Butanol (b) Butylaminearrow_forwardBenzoic acid, Ph-COOH (C6H5CO2H), is not soluble in water while it dissolves in ether (diethyl ether), (CH3CH2)2O. Yet upon treatment with sodium hydroxide, benzoic acid turns hydrophilic and dissolves in water. Provide chemical explanation of this observation.arrow_forwardIsoerythrogenic acid, C18H26O2, is an acetylic fatty acid that turns a vivid blue on exposure to UV light. On Catalytic hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst, five molar equivalents of hydrogen are absorbed, and stearic acid, CH3(CH2)16CO2H, is produced. Ozonolysis of isoerythrogenic acid yields the following products: formaldehyde, CH2O, malonic acid, HO2CCH2CO2H, adipic acid, HO2C(CH2)4CO2H, and the aldehyde carboxylic acid, OHC(CH2)6CO2H.
