Interpretation:
The structural formulas of the two stereoisomers formed by the photochemical chlorination of
Concept introduction:
Enantiomers have the same connectivity of the atoms, but they have different arrangement of the atoms in space. They contain chiral centers and they are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.
Diastereoisomers are the stereoisomers but they are not the enantiomers with each other.
When one chirality center is present a molecule with no element of symmetry is said to be chiral molecule.
The ratio of the monochlorination products depends on the type of hydrogen that is abstracted by the chlorine atom and the free radical that is formed.

Step 1: Start by drawing all the isomers with double bonds. • Consider constitutional isomers, then stereoisomers. Step 2: Draw all isomers containing a ring. • Consider constitutional isomers, then stereoisomers. Step 2: Next consider isomers containing a ring. The largest ring possible with this molecular formula contains 5 carbons, while the smallest possible ring contains 3 carbons. Draw an isomer containing a 5-carbon ring.
