Mixture of stereoisomers of compounds with two chiral centers (e.g., (S,S)(S,R) = mixture of (S,S)- and (S,R)-isomers) first configuration in the parentheses refers to the left stereocenter in the structural formula, second configuration in the parentheses refers to the right one (e.g., (S,R) = isomer with a (S)-configuration at the left and a (P)-configuration at the right stereocenter of the shown structural formula). 

A new dipolarophile bearing a chirality-controlling heterocyclic auxiliary at the p-position is readily accessible from (S)-A-benzylvalinol and methyl ( )-4-oxo-2-propenoate. However, the dipolarophile is available only as an 86 14 equilibrium mixture of trans and cis stereoisomers (Scheme 11.20) (84). When this is used without separation in the reaction with the /V-lithiated azomethine ylide derived from methyl (benzylideneamino)acetate in THF at —78°C for 3.5 h, a mixture of two diastereomeric cycloadducts (75 25) was obtained in 82% yield. These two cycloadducts are derived from the trans and cis isomers of acceptor, indicating that both cycloadditions were highly diastereoselective. 

The four stereoisomers of 2-amino-3-hydroxybutanoic acid can be grouped into two pairs of enantiomers. The 2R,iR stereoisomer is the mirror image of 25,35, and the 2R, >S stereoisomer is the mirror image of 25,3/ . But what is the relationship between any two molecules that are not mirror images What, for example, is the relationship bctw een the 2R,3R isomer and the 2R,3S isomer They are stereoisomers, yet they aren t enantiomers. To describe such a relationship, we need a new term—dinstereomer. 

How many diastereoisomers of compound 1 are there State clearly whether each diastereoisomer is chiral or not. If you had made a random mixture of stereoisomers by a chemical reaction, by what types of methods might they be separated Which isomer(s) would be expected from the hydrogenation of compound 2 , ... 

This base was reported by Pschorr [2] as a by-product in the preparation of the /3-isomer, and was stated to give, on degradation, a methine base that could not be isomerized, and was thus believed to have the —SEt group at C-8 and to be a stereoisomer of S-ethylthioco-dide. The production of this compound was verified by Morris and Small [3], who showed that it is in fact /3-ethylthiocodide sulphoxide [xxm] and that it can be prepared from /3-ethylthiocodide by shaking this with oxygen in alcoholic solution.
