Chapter 5, Problem 5.53P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: To predict the maximum number of stereoisomers possible for the given compound.

Concept introduction: Stereoisomers are those compounds which have same molecular formula but different orientation of atoms in space. The total number of stereoisomers =2n where, n is the number of chiral centers in the compound. A carbon atom bonded to four different substituents is called a stereogenic center.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: To predict the maximum number of stereoisomers possible for the given compound.

Concept introduction: Stereoisomers are those compounds which have same molecular formula but different orientation of atoms in space. The number of stereoisomers for an unsymmetrical molecule =2n where, n is the number of chiral centers in the compound. A carbon atom bonded to four different substituents is called a stereogenic center.
