(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The cis and trans isomers of the given structure B. The stereochemical relation between them needs to be determined. The R or S configuration needs to be assigned to the stereocenters at the ring fusion.

Concept Introduction:When four groups are attached to single atom that atom is called chiral atom and rotation about that atom is called the configuration.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The cis form of the compound and the stereochemistry at carbon 3 and 6 needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:when an atom has four different groups that atom is called the chiral atom and rotation about chiral atom gives the configuration of the molecule.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The cis configuration and configuration at C,C4a,C6, and C8a needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:Configuration tells us about the rotation of the molecule about the chiral atom. Clockwise rotation represents the R whereas anticlockwise represents the S configuration.

2. The molecules shown below are four terpineol isomers. They are isolated from plants and have distinct aromas. For example, a -terpineol is a common perfume ingredient and smells similar to lilacs. Hol H-O- a-terpineol B-terpineol Y-terpineol 4-terpineol A) Draw a structural isomer of terpineol that meet the following criteria. You should draw one unique structure for each set. You must draw each molecule twice, once as a skeletal structure and once as a complete Lewis structure showing all atoms, bonds, and lone pairs of electrons. i. Does not have a ring. ii. Has an E alkene. iii. Has a secondary alcohol. iv. Does not contain an alcohol. B) Draw a complete Lewis structure of a-terpineol showing all bonds, atoms and lone pairs of electrons.
Shown below is Streptomycin, an antibiotic medication used to treat a number of bacterial infections, including tuberculosis, plague, and endocarditis. Neomycin B has broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Circle and label as many functional groups in these molecules as you can. Label each chiral carbon in Streptomycin. How many total stereoisomers exist for Streptomycin? Label each chiral carbon in Neomycin B. How many total stereoisomers exist for Neomycin B?
Q1: The shrub ma huang contains two biologically active stereoisomers ephedrine and pseudoephedrine-with two stereogenic centers as shown in the given structure. Ephedrine is one component of a once popular combination drug used by body builders to increase energy and alertness, while pseudoephedrine is a nasal decongestant. a. Draw the structure of naturally occurring (-)-ephedrine, which has the 1R, 25 configuration. b. Draw the structure of naturally occurring (+)- pseudoephedrine, which has the 15,25 configuration. c. How are ephedrine and pseudoephedrine related? N, d. Draw all other stereoisomers of (-)-ephedrine and (+)-pseudoephedrine and give the R,S designation for all stereogenic centers. OH Ephedrine 15 2.5
