Are these structures constitutional isomers?
« on: January 13, 2014, 09:54:27 PM »


The only difference I see is how the group with the two oxygens (one double and one single bonded) is connected at a different point to the ring structure. It should be connected at 6 o'clock like on the Tamiflu. This would make them constitutional isomers, correct?

I agree - same formula, different atom connectivity.

Rotate the 1st structure counterclockwise by 120 deg and you get the 2nd. Therefore, it's the same thing.

They are not the same.  They are constitutional isomers.
