Chapter 5, Problem 5.21P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The R,S configuration to the enantiomers and two diastereomers of a compound with R,S in configuration are to be assigned.

Concept introduction: R,S configurations are used to determine the relation between two compounds. Enantiomer of a compound has opposite configuration. Diastereomers of a compound have at least one stereogenic centre with same configuration and at least one stereogenic centre with opposite configuration.

If the two stereogenic centers of a compound are R,S in configuration, what are the R,S assignments for its enantiomer and two diastereomers?
Determine the relationship between the following compounds if stereoisomers (enantiomer/diastereomers) indicate R or S, E or Z, Cis or Trans for each stereocenter.
Identify pairs of molecules that represent enantiomers and diastereomers and identify each center stereogenic by writing R or S next to it.
