Question
Chapter 7, Problem 36P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The number of stereoisomers possible in Sphingosine are to be determined on the basis of its structure.
Concept introduction:
Stereoisomers have the same molecular formula but a different arrangement of atoms in space.
A carbon atom attached to four different atoms or groups is a chiral carbon atom.
The number of stereoisomers for a particular constitution is
When two atoms or groups of higher priorities are on the same side of the double bond, the double bond has the Z configuration, and when they are on opposite sides, the configuration is E.
