Question
Chapter 15, Problem 42P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Enantiomers of the given compound (C4H9Cl) should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Isomers are the molecules with the same formula but either with different structural connectivity (constitutional isomers) or different three-dimensional arrangement (stereoisomers).
A tetrahedral carbon atom bonded to four different groups is called a chiral center. A molecule having at least one chiral center is a chiral molecule.
When the mirror images of a chiral molecule are not superimposable, those mirror images become stereoisomers called enantiomers.
