Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The enantiomer should be drawn for the given molecules by using its structure.

Concept Introduction: Enantiomers are chiral molecules that are mirror images of one another. The molecules are non-superimposable on one another.

This means that the molecules cannot be placed on top of one another and give the same molecule.

Chiral molecules with one or more stereocenters can be enantiomers.

The carbon bears right hand and left hand nomenclature is used to enantiomers of chiral atoms. The asymmetric or stereocenters labeled as R (Rectus) or S (Sinister) configuration.
