(a)
Interpretation:
Considering only the IUPAC names, the given pairs of molecules are to be identified as enantiomers, diastereomers, or neither.
Concept introduction:
A pair of configurational isomers can be identified as enantiomers or diastereomers on the basis of the R/S designation in the names of those molecules. If two stereoisomers have inverse configuration at each corresponding chiral center, they are enantiomers of each other. If two stereoisomers have inverse configuration at some, but not all corresponding chiral centers, they are diastereomers of each other.

- Problem: Perform a conformational analysis 2-iodo-2-methylbutane, looking down the C2—C3 bond. Pay attention to the relative energies of the various conformations, but do not concern yourself with the actual energy values. Pleae draw newman projections.arrow_forwardQuestion: which of the following molecules will have the greatest difference in energy between its chair conformations? I understand that both B and D have chair conformations that are more favored one way than another (B because it's cis 1-3 where both substituents are equatorial or axial and D because for monosubstituents there are 1-3 diaxial interaction if the substituent is axial position) but why is B greater than D? Is it due to the fact it is two substituents over one? Can you explain this for me?arrow_forwardLabel the following pairs as A) distereoisomers, B) enantiomers, C) conformers, or D) the same. b1 c1 d1 e1 a2 b2 c2 The structures above are labeled a1, a2, b1, b2 ...etc. Using these labels, indicate which compounds above would have an optical rotation ofarrow_forward
