question about drawing ---stereoisomers that have 1 or 2 asymmetrical sp3
carbons.


1,3-dichloro-2-butanol.

sp3 carbons(C2 and C3) connect to each other by single bond and each sp3
carbon has 3 substituents.
C2:   ClCH2, H and OH
C3:   Cl, H and CH3

My question:

 when you draw in perspective formula, there are one hatched wedge (away
from you) , one bold line (toward you) and  one regular line to each
substituents from the sp3 carbon.

I am not sure which substituents should go to which line... hatch, bold,
or regular, and can you explain why it works that way???
please email me at shinb@uci.edu
thx

Your compound has 2 chiral carbons.So how many possible stereo isomers are there? If you have models, I suggest constuct the  possible stereoisomers, and draw them.You would get the answer to your question.
