Predict if the two molecules below are stereoisomers, constitutional isomers, or identical.
Draw the corresponding three-dimensional structures of (2R,3S)-2,3-dichlorohexane and (1R,2R)-1,2-dichlorocyclohexane.
(i) Write a three-dimensional structure for leucine and 1-chloro-2-methylbutane. Star all asymmetric carbons in the structure you draw.
(ii) Draw the mirror image for each three-dimensional structure, and state whether the mirror images and the structures you drew in part (i) are enantiomers or identical molecules.
Shown in the figure below is the chemical structure of a derivative of Bryostatin 1. (i): How many chiral centers are in this molecule? (ii): Using the number of chiral centers from part (i), calculate the number of possible stereoisomers at these chiral centers. (Ignore stereoisomers at double bonds)
