For each Fischer projection, label each asymmetric carbon atom as (R) or (S). (a)-(f) the structures in Problem 5-18

Question. For each structure,

Question: Draw all distinct stereoisomers for each structure. Show the relationships (enantiomers, diastereomers, etc.) between the isomers. Label any meso iosmers, and draw any mirror planes of symmetry.
(a) CH3 -CHCI-CHOH-COOH
(b) tartaric acid, HOOC-CHOH - CHOH-COOH
(c) HOOC -CHBr-CHOH- CHOH-COOH
(d)

(e)

The following structures are optically active compounds. Star (*) the asymmetric carbon atoms in these structures.

To show that (R)-2-butyl (R,R)-tartrate and (S)-2-butyl (R,R)-tartrate are not enantiomers, draw and name the mirror images of these compounds.
