Determine the number of possible stereoisomers that exist for the compound C(CH2CHOHCH3)4. Compute the maximum number that you would predict using the 2n rule. Using the notation RRRR, list all of the stereoisomers and identify all pairs of enantiomers and diastereomers. Do any meso structures exist? Note, the notation RRRR indicates that all four stereocenters in the molecule have the R configuration.

Molecules without a plane of symmetry are chiral. In the model you constructed in no.1, the tetrahedral carbon is the stereocenter; the molecule is chiral. A simple test for a stereocenter in a molecule is to look for a stereocenter with four different atoms or groups attached to it; this molecule will have no plane of symmetry. label the stereocenter in each structure with an asterisk (*).
For each compound, determine whether the molecule has an internal mirror plane of symmetry. If it does, draw the mirror plane on a three-dimensional drawing of the molecule. If the molecule does not have an internal mirror plane, determine whether the structure is chiral.1,2-dichloropropane
Consider CH3-CH(OH)-CH(OH)(Br). Determine the absolute configuration of each chiral center in one pair of diastereomer
Write the concept of a molecule that is classified as a meso form. Write an example that shows the difference between an enantiomer, a diastereomer, a meso form.
5. For the molecules below 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. b) RSN RSN HO" RSN EZ N RSN НО. H₂N HO HO OH HO OH RSN RSN CH3 НИ H3 CH₂ RSN RSN RSN EZ N RSN

For the following molecules, draw all possible stereoisomers using line-angle formulas with wedge/dash notation. Label the stereocenters as R or S. Indicate which ones are enantiomers and which ones are diastereomers. (Remember: there are 2 stereoisomers possible for a molecule with n chiral centers) (A) (B) (C) (1 chiral center) Br OH (2 chiral centers) CI OH CH3 (3 chiral centers)
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-dimethylcyclobutane.(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.
