IsomersIsomers: different compounds with the same molecular formulaConstitutional isomers: isomers with a different connectivityStereoisomers: isomers with the same molecular formula, the same connectivity but a different orientation of their atoms in space that cannot be interconverted by rotation about a single bond

Isomerism → Constitutional Isomers and Stereoisomers
Stereoisomers are isomers with the same molecular formula and same connectivity of atoms but different arrangement of atoms in space

Stereochemistryis the chemistry of molecules in three dimension

HandednessStereochemistry of organic molecules can be understood, if we understand the meaning of handednessthe fundamental reason for this is that our hands are not identical, rather they are mirror images
![Page 6: Isomer Presentation (Examville.com)](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050808/554eaf33b4c905977e8b4ee5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

The mirror imageof a chiral object isdifferent and will notsuperimpose on the original object.
Objects which are chiral have a sense of “handedness” and exist in two forms.

• Although everything has a mirror image, mirror images may or may not be superimposable.
• Some molecules are like hands. Left and right hands are mirror images, but they are not identical, or superimposable → chiral (property of handedness)
The reason for Handedness→ chirality

Chirality and Nonchirality
Mirror image: the reflection of an object in a mirrorObjects that are not superposable on their mirror images are said to be chiral, that is, they show handednessObjects that are superposable on their mirror images are said to be achiral, that is, they do not show handedness. An achiral object has at least one element of symmetry
![Page 10: Isomer Presentation (Examville.com)](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050808/554eaf33b4c905977e8b4ee5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

11
• The molecule labeled A and its mirror image labeled B are not superimposable. No matter how you rotate A and B, all the atoms never align. Thus, CHBrClF is a chiral molecule, and A and B are different compounds.
• A and B are stereoisomers—specifically, they are enantiomers.
• A carbon atom with four different groups is a tetrahedral stereogenic center.
Chiral Molecules
![Page 12: Isomer Presentation (Examville.com)](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050808/554eaf33b4c905977e8b4ee5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
• With one stereogenic center, a molecule will always be chiral.
• With two or more stereogenic centers, a molecule may or may not be chiral, e.g. Meso compound (contains a plane of symmetry or a mirror plane)
Chiral vs. Achiral

Chiral vs. AchiralChiral: from the Greek, cheir, hand
an object that is not superposable on its mirror image
Achiral: an object that lacks chirality; one that lacks handedness
an achiral object has at least one element of symmetryplane of symmetry: an imaginary plane passing through an object dividing it so that one half is the mirror image of the other halfcenter of symmetry: a point so situated that identical components are located on opposite sides and equidistant from that point along the axis passing through it

Chiral Center
The most common (but not the only) cause of chirality in organic molecules is a tetrahedral atom, most commonly carbon, bonded to four different groups
A carbon with four different groups bonded to it is called a chiral center
all chiral centers are stereocenters, but not all stereocenters are chiral centers.

• To locate a stereogenic center, examine the four groups—not the four atoms—bonded to each tetrahedral carbon atom in a molecule.
• Omit from consideration all C atoms that cannot be tetrahedral stereogenic centers. These include
• Methylene and methyl units, i. e. CH2 and CH3 groups respectively.
• Any sp or sp2 hybridized Carbons, e.g. triple bonds, and double bonds in alkenes (C=C) and carbonyls (C=O).

25
• To draw both enantiomers of a chiral compound such as 2-butanol, use the typical convention for depicting a tetrahedron: place two bonds in the plane, one in front of the plane on a wedge, and one behind the plane on a dash. Then, to form the first enantiomer, arbitrarily place the four groups—H, OH, CH3 and CH2CH3—on any bond to the stereogenic center. Then draw the mirror image.

• Since enantiomers are two different compounds, they need to be distinguished by name. This is done by adding the prefix R or S to the IUPAC name of the enantiomer.
• Naming enantiomers with the prefixes R or S is called the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system.
• To designate enantiomers as R or S, priorities must be assigned to each group bonded to the stereogenic center, in order of decreasing atomic number. The atom of highest atomic number gets the highest priority (1).
Rules for Labeling Stereogenic Centers with R or S
![Page 52: Isomer Presentation (Examville.com)](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050808/554eaf33b4c905977e8b4ee5/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
52
• If two atoms on a stereogenic center are the same, assign priority based on the atomic number of the atoms bonded to these atoms. One atom of higher priority determines the higher priority.

53
• If two isotopes are bonded to the stereogenic center, assign priorities in order of decreasing mass number. Thus, in comparing the three isotopes of hydrogen, the order of priorities is:

54
• To assign a priority to an atom that is part of a multiple bond, treat a multiply bonded atom as an equivalent number of singly bonded atoms. For example, the C of a C=O is considered to be bonded to two O atoms.

Properties of Stereoisomers
Enantiomers have identical physical and chemical properties in achiral environmentsDiastereomers are different compounds and have different physical and chemical properties
meso tartaric acid, for example, has different physical and chemical properties from its enantiomers (see Table 3.1)

Resolution
Racemic mixture: an equimolar mixture of two enantiomers
because a racemic mixture contains equal numbers of dextrorotatory and levorotatory molecules, its specific rotation is zero
Resolution: the separation of a racemic mixture into its enantiomers
![Page 78: Isomer Presentation (Examville.com)](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050808/554eaf33b4c905977e8b4ee5/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
78
• An equal amount of two enantiomers is called a racemate or a racemic mixture. A racemic mixture is optically inactive. Because two enantiomers rotate plane-polarized light to an equal extent but in opposite directions, the rotations cancel, and no rotation is observed.
Racemates
![Page 79: Isomer Presentation (Examville.com)](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050808/554eaf33b4c905977e8b4ee5/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
79
• Specific rotation is a standardized physical constant for the amount that a chiral compound rotates plane-polarized light. Specific rotation is denoted by the symbol [α] and defined using a specific sample tube length (l, in dm), concentration (c in g/mL), temperature (25 0C) and wavelength (589 nm).

Biological Significance of StereoisomersOf Hands, Gloves, and Biology
Why do stereoisomers have different biological properties?•Many biological effects involve interaction with a cavity in enzyme or receptor•Good fit to cavity (i.e., strong binding) triggers enzyme or receptor
•Most amino acids are chiral, so protein cavity is also chiral•Metaphor: Stereoisomer = left hand or right hand
Protein hole = left glove or right gloveLeft hand fits left glove but not right gloveLeft hand triggers “left protein” but not “right protein”
•(R)-carvone triggers spearmint smell receptor but not caraway smell receptor
