Question

Considering the following Fischer projections, answer the question 1-13. There may be more than one answer for a given question. A meso form A pair enantiomers A pair of diastereomers An optically active molecule An optically inactive molecule A pair of structural isomers Two structures that are identical A molecule with only 1 chiral carbon atoms A molecule with only 2 chiral carbon atoms A molecule with 3 chiral carbon atoms Molecule(s) with the configuration (2R, 4R) Two structures with the same boiling point Two structures with different boiling points

Explanation / Answer

1 . Compound contains chairal centers (carbon atom bonded to four different groups) and possess plane of symmetry.

Meso form: structure II

2. Non-superimposable mirror images are called enantiomers.

A pair of enantiomers: I and II, III and V

3. Non-superimposable non-mirror images are called diastereomers.

A pair of diastereomers: I-III, I-IV, I-V, II-III, and II-IV

4. Compound contains chairal centers (carbon atom bonded to four different groups) and possess no plane of symmetry.

An Optical active compound: I, III, IV, and V
