Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the compound
Concept introduction:
Chiral molecules are molecules in which carbon atom contain four different groups on it. The carbon atom which contains four different groups is known as the chiral center of the molecule.
(b)
Interpretation:
The compound
Concept introduction:
When two compounds are superimposable mirror images, then the compound is same but if they are not superimposable and mirror images of each other, then they are diastereomers of each other. These diastereomers are stereoisomers which are not mirror images of each other. To be stereoisomers, they must contain the same molecular formula, be different molecules, and have same connectivity.
(c)
Interpretation:
Chair flipping of
Concept introduction:
When two compounds are superimposable mirror images, then the compound is same but if they are not superimposable mirror images of each other, then they are diastereomers of each other. These diastereomers are stereoisomers which are not mirror images of each other. To be stereoisomers, they must contain same molecular formula, be different molecules, and have same connectivity.

- e) Consider the following dimethyl-1,3-dithiane 1) Explain whether this compound is chiral or not? 2) Add one methyl group to this molecule changing your previous answer. (If you previously said the molecule was achiral, add the methyl group so that the resulting molecule is chiral or vice versa). Make sure to use dashed or wedged bonds!arrow_forwardFirst, we make sure we have isomers by performing the steps in Table I. Then, we go on to determine what kind of isomers we have. Classify the structures in Task 2 as different, identical, structural isomers (name type), enantiomers or diastereomers.

- chiral. If you were able to make another molecule that is a mirror image of the chiral molecule, the mirror image and the original molecule will be non-superimposable. i.e. the atoms surrounding carbon won't completely align. The lack of alignment of the suround atom makes the two molecules different from each other. The central carbon must be surrounded by 4 different groups. The chiral carbon is highlighted.
