The molecule 2,5-dibromohex-3-ene contains three stereogenic sites: a double bond that can be cis- or trans- and two chirality centers that can be either (R) or (S). Draw structures for and name all possible stereoisomers of 2,5-dibromohex-3-ene. HINT: That means a possible total of 2³ stereoisomers, but there's also the potential for high symmetry or meso stereoisomers, which then reduces the total number of possibilities. Put boxes around pairs of enantiomers, and label meso compounds as "meso," as appropriate.

assign the stereochemical configuration of the selected tetrahedral carbon chiral centers (R, S or N (not a chiral center)) and the alkene (E, Z or N (not a stereocenter)) that are indicated by the arrows (note that you do not have to assign the configuration of every chiral center in the molecule). If the atom in question is not a chiral center or is not a stereocenter circle N for neither.
Stereoisomers share the same connectivity and differ only in the way their atoms are arranged in space. Draw the structure of a compound that is a stereoisomer of cis-1,2- dibromocyclobutane. (Note that the question asks for a different stereoisomer of the named compound and not the named compound itself.) • Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. • In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one.
Draw tartaric acid - 2,3-Dihydroxybutanedioic acid (-dioic means two carboxylgroups), how many stereo isomers will this molecule have? How many of these isomers will be chiral?

In this question, you will draw all the constitutional isomers of CH4Br₂. This compound has an IHD of 1, which means it will either have one ring or one double bond. For this question, do not consider stereoisomers.
The energy difference between a tert-butyl group going from equatorial to axial in a cyclohexane is 18.3 kJ/mol. When two of the carbon atoms are replaced with oxygen atoms (molecule B) the energy difference between the two chair conformations drops to 5.9 kJ/mol. Explain this difference. (Hint: Consider what makes putting groups axial unfavorable).

They may be unrelated, identical (the same compound), constitutional isomers, diastereoisomers, enantiomers? - Identify the optically active (chiral) compounds and any meso compounds. - Assign a configuration (R or S) to all stereocenters. - Name all compounds so that the name reflects the structure unambiguously. a) b) c) d) e) f) H- HO- CHO H3C -NH₂ H- -H H- CH2OH H CH3 CH3 H Ph H CH3 H H CI Ph H H CI CH3 CH₂OH -OH -NH₂ CI H H CI & t OH CHO H3C H OH O-CH3 oma O-CH3 H3C OH
The following are representations of two forms of glucose. The six-membered ring is known to exist in a chair conformation in each form. Draw clear representations of the most stable conformation of each. Are they two different conformations of the same molecule, or are they stereoisomers that cannot be interconverted by rotation about single bonds? Which substituents (if any) occupy axial sites?
It is easy to imagine a cyclohexane as a flat hexagon and a lot of the time we draw it that way. Looking at 1,3,5-triethylcyclohexane we cannot tell the stability of the molecule from looking at the flat 2D drawing. Explain why we need to look at the 3D configuration and what conformation (axial,equatorial) would each of the three ethyl groups be in for the most stable configuration.
5. Draw and name all the possible isomers of dichlorocyclobutane and identify isomers with no optical activity. For any chiral molecule, indicate their absolute stereochemistry.
