(a)
To determine: The validation of the fact that cis-cycloctene is a meso compound under the original definition, but not under working definition.
Interpretation: The validation of the fact that cis-cycloctene is a meso compound under the original definition, but not under working definition is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The class of diastereoisomers includes stereoisomers that are not enantiomers. They are not mirror images of each other. There are two or more chiral centers generally present in diastereoisomers. Structures of diastereoisomers are not the same, but they are stereoisomers because they differ in the spatial arrangement of atoms.
(b)
To determine: The validation of the fact that a double allene is a meso compound under the original definition, but not under working definition.
Interpretation: The validation of the fact that a double allene is a meso compound under the original definition, but not under working definition is to be stated.

- Why are carbon atoms 1 and 3 of glyceraldehyde not considered chiral?arrow_forwardFind an example of a chiral molecule in biology whose enantiomers have markedly different functions. Where is the chiral center located, and how can it be identified? Find and include an image of its molecular structure. What function does the active enantiomer play biologically, and how is this function hindered or changed with the other enantiomer? Are there any synthetic considerations for this molecule?arrow_forwardBecause there is usually slow interconversion between the two isomeric forms at room temperature. Because there is usually rapid interconversion between the two isomeric forms at room temperature. Because chirality only exists with the tetrahedral carbon atoms. Because four bonds a are needed to define a stereogenic center.arrow_forward
- 1. If life arose by “chemical evolution” (which is supposed to be new chemical compounds arising by random chance), what should be the proportion of each of the L- and D-enantiomers present in chiral compounds produced by random chance? How does this match with what we see in living systems? What conclusion can you make from this about the likelihood of life arising by “chemical evolution?" 2. Why does chirality make a difference when new medications are developed? What is an ethical way of addressing this concern in the development process? What is the connection with the way the body is designed?arrow_forwardC2. Subject:- Chemistry please identify the chiral centers and determine the sterechemistry of a compound that contains a cycolhexanearrow_forwardWhat is the relationship between these structures and why? these are diastereomers because all chiral centers are opposite these are diastereomers because some, but not all of the chiral centers are opposite these are enantiomers because all chiral centers are opposite these are enantiomers because some, but not all of the chiral centers are oppositearrow_forward
