Enantiomers are non superimposable mirror images. There are two ways to draw enantiomers, which will be shown in the problem below.

Draw the enantiomer

Problem: Draw the enantiomer of the following molecules.
Solution: There are two ways to draw enantiomers. First way is to draw a mirror image of the molecule given. Second way is to redraw the molecule and switch dashes and wedges on each chiral carbon. Both of these ways produce the same molecule.

Draw structures for all constitutional isomers with the following molecular formula: C2H4Cl2

ByMayya Alocci

FacebookTweetPin Constitutional isomers, also called structural isomers, are molecules that have the same molecular formula but different structure. In our case, the molecular formula is C2H4Cl2. All of the constitutional isomers must have two carbons, four hydrogens and two chlorines. We can begin by drawing two carbons. There are two ways to add two chlorines. We…

FacebookTweetPin Draw the most stable chair conformation of cis-1,3-diisopropylcyclohexaneSteps:1. Draw a cyclohexane and number it. Attach isopropyl group to carbon 1 and another isopropyl group to carbon 3. Cis means you need to put both groups either on a wedge or on a dash.2. Next, draw two chair conformations and number them properly. Attach isopropyl…
