1. Chirality & Stereochemistry An object is achiral (not chiral) if
the object and its mirror image are identical
Ch. 5 - 4
A chiral object is one that cannot be superposed on its mirror image
Ch. 5 - 5

2. Isomerisom: ConstitutionalIsomers & Stereoisomers
Isomers: different compounds that have the same molecular formula●Constitutional isomers:
isomers that have the same molecular formula but different connectivity –their atoms are connected in a different order

2B.Stereoisomers Stereoisomers are NOT
constitutional isomers
Stereoisomers have their atoms connected in the same sequence but they differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space. The consideration of such spatial aspects of molecular structure is called stereochemistry
Ch. 5 - 12
2C. Enantiomers & Diastereomers
Stereoisomers can be subdivided into two general categories:enantiomers & diasteromers●Enantiomers – stereoisomers
whose molecules are nonsuperposable mirror images of each other
●Diastereomers – stereoisomers whose molecules are not mirror images of each other
Ch. 5 - 13
Geometrical isomers (cis & trans isomers) are:●Diastereomers

3. Enantiomers and Chiral Molecules
Enantiomers occur only with compounds whose molecules are chiral
A chiral molecule is one that is NOT superposable on its mirror image
The relationship between a chiral molecule and its mirror image is one that is enantiomeric. A chiral molecule and its mirror image are said to be enantiomers of each other

4. A Single Chirality Center Causes a Molecule to Be Chiral
The most common type of chiral compounds that we encounter are molecules that contain a carbon atom bonded to four different groups. Such a carbon atom is called an asymmetric carbon or a chiral center and is usually designated with an asterisk (*)

The activity of drugs containing chirality centers can vary between enantiomers, sometimes with serious or even tragic consequences
For several years before 1963 thalidomide was used to alleviate the symptoms of morning sickness in pregnant women
Thalidomide
Ch. 5 - 25
In 1963 it was discovered that thalidomide (sold as a mixture of both enantiomers) was the cause of horrible birth defects in many children born subsequent to the use of the drug

6. How to Test for Chirality:Planes of Symmetry
A molecule will not be chiral if it possesses a plane of symmetry
A plane of symmetry (mirror plane) is an imaginary plane that bisects a molecule such that the two halves of the molecule are mirror images of each other
All molecules with a plane of symmetry in their most symmetric conformation are achiral

7. Naming Enantiomers: R,S-System
Using only the IUPAC naming that we have learned so far, these two enantiomers will have the same name:● 2-Butanol
This is undesirable because each compound must have its own distinct name

Rule 1●Assign priorities to the four
different groups on the stereocenter from highest to lowest (priority bases on atomic number, the higher the atomic number, the higher the priority)
7A.How to Assign (R) and (S)Configurations
Ch. 5 - 30
Rule 2●When a priority cannot be
assigned on the basis of the atomic number of the atoms that are directly attached to the chirality center, then the next set of atoms in the unassigned groups is examined. This process is continued until a decision can be made.
Ch. 5 - 31
Rule 3●Visualize the molecule so that
the lowest priority group is directed away from you, then trace a path from highest to lowest priority. If the path is a clockwise motion, then the configuration at the asymmetric carbon is (R). If the path is a counter-clockwise motion, then the configuration is (S)

Enantiomers●Have the same chemical
properties (except reaction/interactions with chiral substances)
●Show different behavior only when they interact with other chiral substances
●Turn plane-polarized light on opposite direction
Ch. 5 - 43
Optical activity●The property possessed by
chiral substances of rotating the plane of polarization of plane-polarized light
Ch. 5 - 44
The electric field (like the magnetic field) of light is oscillating in all possible planes
When this light passes through a polarizer (Polaroid lens), we get plane-polarized light (oscillating in only one plane)

The value of a depends on the particular experiment (since there are different concentrations with each run) ●But specific rotation [a] should
be the same regardless of the concentration
Ch. 5 - 48
Two enantiomers should have the same value of specific rotation, but the signs are opposite

A sample of an optically active substance that consists of a single enantiomer is said to be enantiomerically pure or to have an enantiomeric excess of 100%
9B.Racemic Forms and EnantiomericExcess
Ch. 5 - 54
An enantiomerically pure sample of (S)-(+)-2-butanol shows a specific rotation of +13.52
D[a] = +13.52
25
A sample of (S)-(+)-2-butanol that contains less than an equimolar amount of (R)-(–)-2-butanol will show a specific rotation that is less than 13.52 but greater than zero
Such a sample is said to have an enantiomeric excess less than 100%

reactions that lead to a preferential formation of one stereoisomer over other stereoisomers that could possibly be formed● enantioselective – if a reaction
produces preferentially one enantiomer over its mirror image
● diastereoselective – if a reaction leads preferentially to one diastereomer over others that are possible
