Stereoisomer practice problems
Are the compounds enantiomers (E), diastereomers (D), identical (I) or unrelated (U).
a)
b)
Naming Chiral Compounds
Assign R/S to the following compounds:
Enter answer as (R) (S) (R,R) (S,S), etc or no chiral compounds
Stereoisomers
Assign the isomeric relationship between the following compounds (conformers, enantiomers, diastereomers, constitutional isomers, identical compound):
Stereochemistry
Assign R/S for any asymmetric carbons in the following examples.
Once you have assigned the R/S configuration of an asymmetric carbon, you must then put it together with the name. The R/S assignment acts much like a substituent and is added as a prefix to the chemical’s name. Try naming the first compound and adding the R/S prefix.
