Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The Fischer projection of both the enantiomers of 2-pentanolneeds to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
For a molecule with the chiral center, the Fischer projection formula is written to describe the stereo arrangement of atoms in two dimensions. For large molecules with more than 1 stereocenters are also represent their stereochemistry using the Fischer Projection. The carbon chain of the molecule containing the chiral carbon center is represented as a vertical line with chiral carbon at the center. Two other groups are then horizontally arranged around the chiral carbon atom.
(b)
Interpretation:
The Fischer projection of both the enantiomers of 1,2-dichlorobutane needs to be drawn.

- Draw the enantiomer of each compound.arrow_forwardR/S configuration for each stereocenter in the following Fischer projection.arrow_forwardC. Smelling Chirality. Carvone Olfactory receptors in our noses, used for the detection of odors, are chiral. Therefore, in some cases, we can tell the difference between enantiomers by their odor. Carvone is one such compound that we can distinguish between the R and S enantiomer by their odor. 1. Identify the chiral center in carvone and draw the R and S enantiomers in the indicated boxes. 2. Smell both of the enantiomers of carvone and provide a brief description of their odors in the same boxes. Carvone is perfectly safe to smell as both enantiomers are found in various foods.
