Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The stereochemical relationships among the compound
Concept introduction:
Those compounds which have the same molecular formula but have different arrangements of atoms are known as isomers. The phenomenon is called isomerism. The isomers are generally classified as structural isomers and stereoisomers. Stereoisomers are further divided into two categories diastereomers and enantiomers.
(b)
Interpretation:
The meso compounds among the compound A, compound B, compound C, compound D, and compound E are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
A carbon atom that has four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as the chiral carbon atom. Chiral carbon centers are also called asymmetric or stereogenic centers. The chiral atom sometimes results in the formation of enantiomers which are the non-superimposable mirror images of each other.
(c)
Interpretation:
The optically active compounds among the compound A, compound B compound C, compound D, and compound E are to be stated.
