Chapter 17: Q15P (page 814)

How many stereoisomers are obtained from each of the synthesis described in Problem 14?

Short Answer

Expert verified

There are no stereoisomers formed in (a) part.

One asymmetric center is formed in (b) part, and both R and S stereoisomers are obtained.

Step by step solution

01

Stereoisomers

Stereoisomers are compounds having the same bonding, but only the difference is the arrangement of atoms in space.The IUPAC names are the same for stereoisomers.

02

The stereoisomers obtained from each synthesis

No stereoisomers are formed in (a) part because there is no asymmetric center.

The product formed in (a)

One asymmetric center is formed in (b) part, and both R and S stereoisomers are obtained.

The product formed in (b)
