Question
Chapter 6, Problem 6.53AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The result of the conversion reaction from optically active starting material to a product with an identical melting point and an optical rotation of equal magnitude and the opposite sign is consistent with either tetrahedral or pyramidal geometry at the asymmetric carbon is to be shown.
Concept introduction:
An atom that has four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as the chiral atom. Chiral 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.

In addition to more highly fluorinated products, fluorination of 2-methylbutane yields a mixture of compounds with the formula C5H10F2. Draw the structures of all the isomers with the formula C5H10F2 that would be produced and label with a star all the chiral centers present in their structures.
Draw all three staggered conformations for the following compound, viewed along the C₂-C3 bond. Determine which conformation is
the most stable, taking into account gauche interactions and hydrogen-bonding interactions. (J. Phys. Chem. A 2001, 105, 6991-6997)

Conformer B because the anti OH groups avoid hydrogen bonding, which is a destabilizing effect.
Conformer A because there are only two gauche interactions, and hydrogen bonding between the two OH groups is a
stabilizing effect.
Conformer C because there is no steric strain for Me-OH gauche interactions and hydrogen bonding between the two OH
groups is a stabilizing effect.
Conformer B because the large OH groups are anti to each other.
Pyrethrin II and pyrethrosin are two natural products isolated from plants of the chrysanthemum family. Pyrethrin II is a natural insecticide and is marketed as such.

If this representation were accurate, we would expect the N atom to be pyramidal, and we would also expect C-N to undergo free rotation.
