Question

Write three-dimensional formulas and designate a plane of symmetry for all of the achiral molecules in Review Problem 5.4. (In order to be able to designate a plane of symmetry you may need to write the molecule in an appropriate conformation.

Problem 5.4

Some of the molecules listed here have a chirality center; some do not. Write three-dimensional formulas for both enantiomers of those molecules that do have a chirality center.

(a) 2-Fluoropropane

(b) 2-Methylbutane

(c) 2-Chlorobutane

(d) 2-Methyl-1-butanol

(e) trans-2-Butene

(f) 2-Bromopentane

(g) 3-Methylpentane

(h) 3-Methylhexane

(i) 2-Methyl-2-pentene

(j) 1-Chloro-2-methylbutane
