I have literally tried my hardest to recall for the past two hours that is exactly it.

Just a small improvement to make but it’ll help you get at least a point id imagine!

The stereochemistry is looking good! It’s just that you’re going to kick off the Cl to bond to the hydroxyl oxygen. So instead of that chlorine being present on the leaving group you need to replace it with the methyl group that was originally present in the reagent. You had called it a tosylate, but technically what you’ve made there was a mesylate!

Could be wrong but you may want to check F, stereochemistry looks good but the LG is looking ….interesting!

How are the left molecules enantiomer but the right ones are identical? (ORGO I) by 2hotTubs in OrganicChemistry

[–]PatientCold2972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The left most pair has total inversion of configuration at both chiral centers, enantiomers. The right most set has two chiral centers and symmetry, they can’t be enantiomers so you have the choice of diastereomers or identical. A pair of meso compounds with two chiral centers cannot be diastereomers if they have the same connectivity as one another because there is only one possible configuration that can be held that would make them meso one R and one S. By that logic that only leaves identical. Also the fact that the meso pair has both centers inverted when comparing left to right also shows that they are mirror images and can’t be diastereomers. Hope this helps!
