A. Consider the following pairs of structures. Designate each
chirality center as (R) or (S) and identify the
relationship between them by describing them as representing
enantiomers, diastereomers, constitutional isomers, or two
molecules of the same compound. Use handheld molecular models to
check your answers.
B. Tartaric acid
[HO2CCH(OH)CH(OH)CO2H] was an important
compound in the history of stereochemistry. Two naturally occurring
forms of tartaric acid are optically inactive. One optically
inactive form has a melting point of 210 − 212 °...
