Chapter 7, Problem 7.17P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Compound cis-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane is chiral or not is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

A carbon atom that has four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as the chiral carbon atom. Chiral carbon centers are also called as asymmetric or stereogenic centers. A carbon atom that does not have four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as an achiral carbon atom.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Compound trans -1,2-dimehtylcyclopropane is chiral or not is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

A carbon atom that has four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as the chiral carbon atom. Chiral carbon centers are also called as asymmetric or stereogenic centers. A carbon atom that does not have four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as an achiral carbon atom.
