Question
Chapter 4, Problem 41P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The more likely structure for the natural product having the given specific rotation is to be determined out of the two proposed structures.
Concept introduction:
A chiral carbon atom is attached to four different atoms or groups of atoms.
A chiral compound contains at least one chiral carbon atom and no elements of symmetry.
Molecules can be achiral in spite of having chirality centers. If a compound has two or more equivalently substituted chiral centers and an internal plane of symmetry, that compound is called a meso compound.
Meso compounds are optically inactive.

Look at the given reaction and use the letter code corresponding to each compound in the
blank to indicate the expected product(s), or fill in the blank with the appropriate vocabulary
word or phrase. If a specific stereoisomer (e.g single enantiomer) is formed, select that isomer
only. If a mixture of stereoisomers (e.g. racemic or diastereomers) is formed, select the single
structure that shows the appropriate mixture (e.g. lines not dashes).
