Question
1. For the formula C5H10O2
a) Calculate the IHD
b) Draw enantiomers of a compound with this formula. This means that the final pair of molecules must be drawn in 3-D. However, I suggest first drawing a 2-D version of a molecule that contains an asymmetric carbon. Then from there, draw that molecule in 3-D around the asymmetric carbon only, then attach the 4 unique groups using condensed notation if you wish. Finally draw the mirror image of the first 3-D molecule.
c) Draw cis-trans isomers of a compound with this formula containing a carbon to carbon double bond. The angles surrounding the C to C double bond must be drawn with ~120o angles
d) Draw cis-trans isomers of a compound with this formula containing a ring/cycle. The ring can be drawn at a slant, showing bonds pointing up and down from the plane of the ring, or the ring can be flat on the paper, using wedge and dash bonds to depict bonds above and below the plane of the ring.
Explanation / Answer
1.
In a hydrocarbon where all the C atoms have only single bonds and no rings are involved, the compound would have the maximum number of H atoms. If any of the bonds are replaced with double or triple bonds, or if rings are involved, there would be a
