Consider the chlorination of (S)-2-chloropentane at C4.
(a) Write structural formulas for the products, showing three dimensions at all chirality centers. Give each its proper (R, S) designation.
(b) What is the stereoisomeric relationship between these products?
(c) Are both products chiral?
(d) Are both optically active?
(e) Could the products be separated by conventional means?
(f) What other dichloropentanes would be obtained by chlorination of (S)-2-chloropentane?
(g) Which of these are optically active?
