Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:
The chirality centres present in Guaiol are to be indicated by asterisks and the maximum possible number of stereisomers possible is also to be stated.
Concept introduction:
A chirality centre has a carbon attached to four different groups. The maximum number of isomers possible is given by 2n where n is the number of different chiral centres present in the molecule.
To indicate:
The chirality centres present in guaiol are to be indicated by asterisks and to state the maximum possible number of stereisomers for it.
b)
Interpretation:
The chirality centres present in sabinene are to be indicated by asterisks and the maximum possible number of stereisomers possible is also to be stated.

- 17-74 Glucose, C6H12O6, contains an aldehyde group but exists predominantly in the form of the cyclic hemiacetal shown here. We will discuss this cyclic form of glucose in Chapter 20. A cyclic hemiacetal is formed when the —OH group of one carbon bonds to the carbonyl group of another carbon. (a) Which carbon in glucose provides the —OH group and which provides the —CHO group?
