h) Specify the absolute (R/S) configuration of the amino group in structure IV.
(i) If the substituents in structures I, IV and V were identical (all OH or all NH2), which structure would result in a meso compound?
(j) If each hydroxy group for structures I, II and VI were replaced with another amino group, which compound would be made optically inactive?
Consider the amino acid molecule shown below in a Fischer representation. Which of the following
correctly designates this molecule as either a D- or L-amino acid? Hint: you may need to switch two
groups one or two times to get the molecule to look like the familiar Fischer D- and L-
representations of the "reference compound" glyceraldehyde. Recall that -COOH (or HOOC-,
depending on the orientation) represents a carboxylic acid functional group.

H
NH₂
-COOH
The molecule is neither a D- nor an L-amino acid
O The molecule is a L-amino acid
O The molecule is a D-amino acid
Draw the stereoisomers of the following amino acids. Indicate pairs of enantiomers and pairs of diastereomers.
