Question

me Class: Date Make-Un Test 12. How many stereoisomers of 3-bromo-2-butanol, CHCHOHCHBrCHs, exist? b. 2 c. 13. Which of the following structures has a center of symmetry (i.e, center of inversion)? a. 1 b. 2 c. 3 C, d. 4 14. Which of the following substituents has the highest priority according to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system used in assigning R and S configurations? a.-COOH b. -CHO e-CH20H d.-CH3 15. What is the relationship hetween the following pair of structures? CI H l a. They are enantiomens b. They are diastereomers c. The are constitutional isomers d. They are identical

Explanation / Answer

The answers to the above questions are :

12. d

as there are 2 stereocentres and it is not symmetric hence 2^2=4 stereoisomers.

13 d

as the identical groups are at the same distance from the center of the molecule

14 a

it will have the highest priority as it has two O attached to C

15 d

they are identical as the second one is just a rotation around C atom which doesn't affect the structure.

Please give a thumbs up as it matters a lot. In case of doubts leave a comment.Thank you
