Chapter 4: Q67P (page 182)

Which of the following has an asymmetric center?

CHBr2Cl BHFCl CH3CHCl2 CHFBrCl BeHCl

Short Answer

Expert verified

We have to find which compound has asymmetric center:

Only CHFBrCl has asymmetric center.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of asymmetric and stereocenters

What is asymmetric center or chiral carbon-

Chiral objects are those objects which have no same mirror images. The mirror images don鈥檛 superimpose each other. whose mirror images superimpose each other that compounds are called achiral objects.

Chiral carbon is that carbon atom which is bonded to four different groups.

What is stereocenters-

An atom with three or more different attachments and interchanging of two of these attachments leads to another stereoisomer that C-center is called as stereocenter.

All asymmetric centers are stereocenters but all stereocenters can鈥檛 be asymmetric.

02

Final answer

CHBr2Cl = This compound has two Br atoms so it is not chiral carbon so there is no asymmetric center.

BHFCl= No chiral atom so there is no asymmetric center.

CH3CHCl2= This compound has two Cl atoms so it is not chiral carbon so there is no asymmetric center.

CHFBrCl= In this all the groups attached to carbon are different so it is asymmetric center.

BeHCl= No chiral atom so there is no asymmetric center.

Are the following pairs identical, enantiomers, diastereomers, or constitutional isomers?

(S)- (+)-Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a flavour enhancer used in many foods. Some people have an allergic reaction to MSG (including headache, chest pains, and an overall feeling of weakness). Fast food often contains substantial amounts of MSG, which is widely used in Chinese food as well. (S)-(+)-MSG has a specific rotation of +24.

a. What is the specific rotation of (R)- (-)-monosodium glutamate?

b. What is the specific rotation of a racemic mixture of MSG?
