1-sec-butoxy-3-chloro-1-methylcyclohexane
a) Draw structure
b) Draw all possible stereoisomers with R/S designation and label them A,B, C, etc.
c) List the enantiomers:
d) List the diastereomers:
e) List the meso compounds:
Solution :-
In the given molecule there are 3 chiral centers are present therefore the number of possible stereoisomers are calculated as
# stereoisomer = 2^n
= 2^3
= 8
Enantioemers are the non super impossible mirror images and the distereomers of the compounds are the structures in which 1 or more chiral centers deffer in the configuration. Diastereomers are also not mirror iamges.
Following iamge shows the structures for the each part
The structures shown in the part b are also considred as the diastereomers.
Since the moloecule is not symmetrical therefore meso are not shown.
