Yeah, I really have no idea. A lot of answers have been wrong in the past, but for this chapter, it really grinds my gears not to have faith in the answer key.
Draw Newman projections depicting the (R)-enantiomer of each of the following:
a) 1-bromo-1-chloroethane
b) 1-bromo-1-methoxypropane
Now, I am SURE that I am mistaken, but isn't that an (S)-enantiomer for each? Assigning priorities:
For a) Br > Cl > CH3 > H...right? So, wouldn't the...
Could you perhaps help me with the following? It's not so much a homework question as it is general guidance, so I apologize if I am asking in the wrong forum.
I am having trouble converting Fisher projections into Newman projections, and vice versa. I have gotten several correct, but the...
That's what I was hoping for, it just gets confusing when you draw something one way and then the answer key shows something totally different. I know that in stereochemistry, compounds are very sensitive in how they are to be drawn or else you can totally mess it up, so I wanted to be sure this...
We have hit stereochemistry , and I realize I will be screwed unless I can get my drawings down-pat. Okay, so, let's say the question is:
Draw clearly structures for the pair of enantiomers of each:
a) 3-bromo-1-butanol
To start, I drew out the stick-diagram, and identified the...
