Isomerism

When two or more organic compounds have the same molecular

formula but differ in their physical or chemical properties they are

called Isomers and the phenomenon called isomerism.

Isomerism (stereoisomerism ) Isomerism (stereoisomerism )

Stereoisomerism• Greek, Stereos=occupying space).• The stereoisomers have the same

structural formulas but differ in the spatial arrangement of atoms or groups in the molecule.

• In other words, stereoisomerism is exhibited by such compounds which have identical molecular structure but different configurations.

Chain Isomerism (or Skeletal Isomerism)

• Chain isomers have the same molecular formula but differ in order in which the carbon atoms are bonded.

Position Isomerism• Position isomers have the same molecular formula

but differ in the position of functional group on the carbon chain.

Geometric isomerismGeometric isomerism

An isomerism resulting from rigidity in molecules An isomerism resulting from rigidity in molecules and accures only in two class of compoundsand accures only in two class of compounds alkenes and cyclic compoundsalkenes and cyclic compounds

Rigidity ≠ Flexibility Rigidity ≠ Flexibility

σσ – bond free rotation ( flexibility ) – bond free rotation ( flexibility )

- bond C = C no free rotation ( rigidity )- bond C = C no free rotation ( rigidity )

σσ – bond restricted rotation ( semi-fexable ) – bond restricted rotation ( semi-fexable )

Free rotation' of carbon- carbon single bonds

Restricted rotation' of carbon-carbon double bonds
