PROBLEM 5.18 Which molecules in Figure \( 5-19 \) are enantiomers of molecule A? Which molecules are diastereomers? Hint: How many chiral centers are there? In each structure, how many chiral centers are inverted relative to those in molecule A? FIGURE 5-19 All possible configurational isomers of 2,3-dibromo-4-methylhexane 2,3-Dibromo-4-methyhexane has three chiral centers, giving rise to isomers. 2,3-Dibromo-4-methylhexane, for example, has three chiral centers, so it has the \( 2^{3}=8 \) configurational isomers shown in Figure 5-19. YOUR TURN \( 5.13 \) In molecule \( \mathbf{A} \) in Figure 5-19, indicate each chiral center with an asterisk,
