Question
Chapter 4, Problem 69P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The number of asymmetric centers present in the given structure of Mevacor has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Stereoisomers are isomers which have different spatial arrangement in spite of same bond connectivity. Stereoisomers are due to the presence of stereocenter. Stereocenter may be an atom axis (bond) or plane from which interchanging of two groups leads to stereoisomers.
Asymmetric center is a stereocenter which arises to hydrocarbons if the carbon is bonded to four different groups.
