What is the relationship between the specific rotations of (2R,3R)-dichloropentane and (2S,3S)-dichloropentane? Between (2R,3S)-dichloropentane and (2R,3R)-dichloropentane?
Assign R or S stereochemistry to the chirality centers in the following
Newman projections:
Draw tetrahedral representations of the following molecules: S-2-chlorobutane
One of the steps in fat metabolism is the hydration of crotonate to yield 3-hydroxybutyrate. This reaction occurs by addition of –OH to the Si face at C3, followed by protonation at C2, also from the Si face. Draw the product of the reaction, showing the stereochemistry of each step.
Orient each of the following drawings so that the lowest-ranked group is toward the rear, and then assign R or S configuration
