Concept introduction:
Enantiomers are molecules that are nonsuperimposable mirror images. Specific rotations of enantiomers are equal, but of opposite signs.
Interpretation Introduction
(c)
Interpretation:
It is to be determined how the two enantiomers are related apart from being mirror images of each other. It is to be explained why they do not readily interconvert.
Concept introduction:
Conformers are molecules that can be interconverted by a rotation about a single bond.
If the rotation about the bond is restricted because of steric hindrance, the two conformers can be separated.

1,1'-Bi-2-naphthol is a chiral compound, and its enantiomers can be separated from each other. The enantiomer shown
here has a specific rotation of – 32.70° in tetrahydrofuran. (Notice that the two fused-ring systems are not in the same
plane. In the top ring system, the left side is in front of the plane of the page, whereas in the bottom ring system, the
right side is in front.)

1,1'-Bi-2-naphthol
(a) How many chiral centers does 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol have?
(b) Draw the enantiomer of the molecule shown. What is its specific rotation?
(c) Aside from being mirror images of each other, how else are the two enantiomers related? Why do you think they do
not readily interconvert? Hint: It may help to construct a molecular model.
Is cis-1,2-dibromocyclohexane a meso compound?
In its planar structure, it has a line of symmetry but it has two chiral carbons. However, in its chair conformation, it does not look like it has a line of symmetry but it has two chiral carbons.
Pyrethrin II and pyrethrosin are two natural products isolated from plants of the chrysanthemum family. Pyrethrin II is a natural insecticide and is marketed as such.
Q,) Label all chiral centers in each molecule and all carbon-carbon double bonds about which there is the possibility for cis,trans isomerism.
