Refer to the list of compounds shown below when answering questions 4(a) to 4(j)
(a) A 50:50 mixture of structure VI with what other compound would lead to a racemic
mixture?
(b) Identify one compound that is identical to structure IV.
(c) Identify one compound that is identical to structure V.
(d) Identify one compound that is expected to have identical physical properties as structure II.
(e) Other than structures III and VI, identify a stereoisomer with a different boiling point from
that of structure II.
(f) Other than structures IV, identify one diastereomer of structure I.
(g) How many stereoisomers may be derived from structure V?
(h) Specify the absolute (R/S) configuration of the amino group in structure IV.
(i) If the substituents in structures I, IV and V were identical (all OH or all NH2), which
structure would result in a meso compound?
(j) If each hydroxy group for structures I, II and VI were replaced with another amino group,
which compound would be made optically inactive?
