(a)
Interpretation:The complete IUPAC name of indicated enantiomer should be written as well as numbers of possible stereoisomeric products formed in the chlorination with
Concept introduction: Halogenation products are governed by the achirality or already present stereocenter in the molecule.
If the halogenation occurs at the chiral center of the substrate it results in a racemic mixture. This is attributed to formation of achiral radical intermediate that can be attacked equally from the top face or bottom face. Thus two enantiomers R and S are formed in equal amount that makes the overall mixture optically inactive.
If the halogenation occurs at one of the two chiral centers of the substrate it results in change in absolute configuration at only one of the stereocenter and thus diastereoisomer result. These diastereomers are formed in unequal amounts.

Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function
- Indicate the relationship between the two structures in the pair. Are they chair conformations of the same molecule? If so, are they conformational diastereomers, conformational enantiomers, or identical? If they are not conformations of the same molecule, what is their stereochemical relationship? CH₂ CH₂ H₂C H₂C CH₂ Which statement is true? Ho CH₂ They are chair conformations of the same molecule, and they are conformational enantiomers. They are different molecules, and they are enantiomers. They are different molecules, and they are diastereomers. They are identical conformations of the same molecule. They are chair conformations of the same molecule, and they are conformational diastereomers.arrow_forwardQ1:- Which of the isomeric alcohols having formula CSH120 are chiral ? Which are achiral?
