Question

Draw every stereoisomer for 1,2‑difluoro‑1,2‑dimethylcyclopentane. Use wedge‑and‑dash bonds for the substituent groups, and be sure that they are drawn on the outside of the ring, adjacent to each other. Clearly show stereochemistry by drawing the wedge‑and‑dashed bonds like the example. You should replace the x with the appropriate halide.

Answer 1

• Shown are 1,2-difluoro-1,2-dimethylcyclopentane's three isomers.
• We can designate the stereocenters as either R or S in order to distinguish the three isomers.
• The stereocenters are located in the first compound, going from left to right (1R, 2S).
• Stereocenters are present in the middle compound (1R, 2R).
• Stereocenters are located in the third building on the right (1S, 2S).
• With stereocenters (1S, 2R), it is feasible to draw what appears to be another stereoisomer, but this compound is a meso-compound and is identical to (1R, 2S).
• Therefore, 1,2-difluoro-1,2-dimethylcyclopentane only has three distinct stereoisomers.

What are stereoisomers?

• In contrast to atomic connection, stereoisomers differ in the spatial arrangement of their atoms.
• The mirror-image stereoisomers, a non-superimposable pair of two molecules that are mirror images of one another, are one of their most intriguing types of isomers.
