Total Problems: 8
On the molecule below, mark each stereocenter with an asterisk. (Note: in some textbooks, stereocenters are referred to as stereogenic centers, chirality centers, or asymmetric centers).
Assign R or S configuration for each molecule below.
a) is straightforward. I've started you off in b).
Draw the structure of (2R,3S) 2-bromo-3-chlorobutane using wedges and dashes. Also draw a Fischer projection.
Indicate which of the molecules below are chiral (if any).
Indicate the major organic product of the reaction below. Include stereochemistry.
Let's work through a chiral resolution. Write out the structure of the indicated compound in each box. Include stereochemistry.
Why is it possible to separate the (R,R) and (R,S) salts?
