5. Chirality Enantiomers vs. Diastereomers
33PRACTICE PROBLEM
Please consider the chiral molecule shown below.
(a) Draw the non-superimposable mirror image of the molecule to obtain its enantiomer.
(b) Interchange the spatial orientation of the groups at each chiral center to obtain another enantiomer.
(c) Compare the structures obtained in (a) and (b) to determine if they are identical.
