Prof. Darius Zlotos Tutorial 4 Organic Chemistry I

This organic chemistry tutorial document contains questions asking students to identify whether given molecules are chiral or achiral, assign absolute configurations, identify stereocenters and their configurations, determine if compounds are enantiomers or diastereomers, convert a line structure to a Fischer projection, and explain why a compound with two stereocenters is not optically active. The document contains molecular structures as examples for students to analyze concepts relating to stereochemistry, chirality, and isomerism.
