Question

Consider (2R, 3R) 4-amino-2,3-dimethylbutanoic acid:

a) draw the 3D bond-line structure

b) Draw the Newman Projection looking down the C2-C3 bond

c) Draw the Fischer Projection

d) Draw the enantiomer

e) Draw the diastereomer

Answer 1

a) 3D-bond line structure

d) Enantiomer are compound that are mirror images and not superimposable to eachother

e) diastereomers are compound that are not mirror images to each other, the below two compounds are diastereomers to  (2R, 3R) 4-amino-2,3-dimethylbutanoic acid

c) fischer projection is the way of represting the three dimenstional molecule in two dimenstional representation

b) newman projection is helpful to visualize the conformations of the molecule
