Question

For which of the following generic substances is it not possible to isolatic the enantiomers? (R_1,R_2 and R_3 represent different goups.) a. b. c. d. It is possible to isolate the enantiomers of all of these. e. It is not possible to isolate the enantiomers of any of these. Consider the following table. Based on the data in the table, which of the following compounds would have the largest strain energy? A. cyclopropane b. cyclobutane c. cyclopentane d. cyclohexane Consider the following process.

Explanation / Answer

19. (e) It is not possible to isolate the enantiomers of any of these compounds. The compounds rapidly flip at room temperature to racemize to the other ennatiomer. Such compounds are therefore called Invertomers.

20. (a) Cyclopropane has the highest strain energy. The Highest heat of combustion value of this compound indicates the highest strain in this molecule.
