Background
The drug thalidomide which was used during the 1950s to suppress the morning sickness. The drug
unfortunately, was prescribed as a mixture of stereoisomers, and while one stereoisomer
actively worked on controlling morning sickness, the other stereoisomer caused serious birth
defects.
The study of stereochemistry focuses on stereoisomers and spans the entire spectrum of organic,
inorganic, biological, physical and especially supramolecular chemistry. Stereochemistry
includes method for determining and describing these relationships; the effect on the physical
or biological properties.
Introduction
STEREOCHEMISTRY: DEFINITION
The branch of chemistry which deals with three dimensional structure of molecule and their
effect on physical and chemical properties is known as stereochemistry. To represent molecule
as three dimensional object we need at least one carbon sp3- hybridized.
Stereo isomerism
OPTICAL ACTIVITY
 Ordinary lights are composed of rays of different wavelengths vibrating in all
directions perpendicular to the path of its propagation.
 These vibrations can be made to occur in a single plane by passing ordinary light
through the polarizing Nicol prism.
 Such light whose vibrations occur in only one plane is called plane polarized light
 Compounds which rotate the plane of polarized light are called optically active
compounds and this property is known as optical activity.
Stereo isomerism
OPTICAL ACTIVITY
Rotation of plane of polarized light can be of two types.
 Dextrorotatory : If the compound rotates the plane of polarization to the
right(clockwise) it is said to be dextrorotatory (Latin: dexter-right) and is
denoted by (+), or ‘d’.
 Laevorotatory : If the compound rotates the plane of polarization to the
left(anticlockwise) it is said to be laevorotatory (Latin: laevus-left) and is
denoted by (-) or ‘l
 The change in the angle of plane of polarization
is known as optical rotation.
 The optical rotation is detected and measured
by an instrument called Polarimeter.
Stereo isomerism
OPTICAL ACTIVITY
 The measurement of optical activity is reported in terms of specific rotation
[α], which is given as,
[α] λ t = α/lc
 [α]= specific rotation
 t = temperature of measurement
 λ=wavelength of the light used
 α= observed angle of rotation
 l= length of sample tube in decimeter
 c=concentration of the sample in g/mL of solution
Stereo isomerism
CHIRALITY
The word chiral (Greek word Chier,meaning hand) is used for those objects which have right-
handed and left-handed forms i.e., molecules which have “handedness” and the general
property of “handedness” is termed chirality. An object which is not superimposable upon its
mirror image is chiral.
ACHIRALITY
Object and molecules which are superimposable on their mirror images is achiral. Achiral
molecule has internal plane of symmetry, a hypothetical plane which bisects an object or
molecule into mirror-reflactive halves. An object or molecule with an internal plane of
symmetry is achiral.
Stereo isomerism
Asymmetric center and chiral center
Three terms are used to designate, a carbon atom bonded
tetrahedrally to four different substituent in a chiral
molecule: Asymmetric atom, chiral center or stereocenter.
Stereo isomerism
Stereogenic center or Stereocenter
 A stereogenic center is defined as an atom on which an interchange of any two
atoms or groups result in a new stereoisomer
 When the new stereoisomers is an enantiomer ,the stereocenter is called
chiral center
 All stereocenters are not tetrahedral.

Stereo isomerism
ELEMENTS OF SYMMETRY
Elements of symmetry offer a simple device to decide whether a molecule is chiral or
achiral, i.e., whether it is superimposable on its mirror image or not. When a molecule
has no plane of symmetry, no centre of symmetry and no alternating axis of
symmetry, it is non superimposable on its mirror image and is chiral (optically active).
 PLANE OF SYMMETRY
The plane which divides a molecule in to two equal halves which are related as object
and mirror image is known as plane of symmetry. For example
Stereo isomerism
ELEMENTS OF SYMMETRY
 CENTER OF SYMMETRY
 A center of symmetry in a molecule is said to exist if a line is drawn from any atom or
group to this point and when extended to an equal distance beyond this point, meets
the identical atom or group.
 All lines are passing through this point, hence it is the center point of the molecule.
 A centre of symmetry is usually present only in an even number ring. For example, the
molecule of trans -2,4-dimethyl-cyclobutane –trans-1,3- dicarboxaylic acid has a
center of symmetry.
Stereo isomerism
ELEMENTS OF SYMMETRY
 CENTER OF SYMMETRY
Another interesting example is dimethyl ketopiperizine. This has two isomers, cis and
trans. The cis form has no plane of symmetry or centre of symmetry. The trans form
on other hand, has a centre of symmetry.
Stereo isomerism
ELEMENTS OF SYMMETRY
 ALTERNATING AXIS OF SYMMETRY
A molecule possesses an alternating axis of symmetry if, when rotated through
an angle 360/n about this axis and then followed by reflection in a plane
perpendicular to the axis, the molecule is indistinguishable from the original
molecule. Alternating axis of symmetry is rare and can be present in cyclic as
well as open chain compounds.
Stereo isomerism
STEREOISOMERS
Isomers having the same molecular formula but different spatial arrangement
of their atoms are known as stereoisomer. They are of following types:
Enantiomers
Stereoisomers which are non superimposable mirror images of each other are
called enantiomers. Chirality is necessary and sufficient condition for existence
of enantiomers. These always exist as discrete pairs. Eg
Stereo isomerism
Diastereomers
Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other are called
diastereomers.
Stereo isomerism
NOMENCLATURE OF OPTICAL ISOMERS
D, L SYSTEM OF NOMENCLATURE
This nomenclature is mainly used in sugar chemistry or optically active polyhydric
carbonyl compounds. This is a relative nomenclature because all the configurations
described with respect to glyceraldehydes. All sugars whose Fischer projection
formula shows the OH group on the right hand side of the chiral atom belong to the
D-series.
Stereo isomerism
NOMENCLATURE OF OPTICAL ISOMERS
D, L SYSTEM OF NOMENCLATURE
It must be noted that there is no relation between sign of rotation and (+, - or d,l ) and
configuration (D and L) of enentiomer.
Any compound that can be prepared from, or converted in to D(+) glyceraldehydes
will belong to D-series and similarly any compound that can be prepared from, or
converted in to L(-) glyceraldehydes will belongs to the L-series.
Stereo isomerism
NOMENCLATURE OF OPTICAL ISOMERS
R.S. NOMENCLATURE
 The order of rearrangement of four groups around a chiral carbon is called the
absolute configuration around that atom.
 System which indicates absolute configuration was given by three chemists
R.S. Cahn, C.K. Ingold and V. Prelog.
 This system is known as (R) and (S) system or the Cahn-Ingold Prelog system.
 The letter (R) comes from the Latin rectus (means right) while (S) comes from
the Latin sinister (means left).
 Any Chiral carbon atoms have either an (R) configuration or a (S) configuration.
 Therefore one enantiomer is (R) and the other is (S).
 A recemic mixture may be designated as (RS), meaning a mixture of the two.
Stereo isomerism
NOMENCLATURE OF OPTICAL ISOMERS
R.S. NOMENCLATURE
The R, S nomenclature involves two steps:
Step I: The four ligands (atom or groups) attached to the chiral centre are assigned a
sequence of priority according to sequence rules.
Rule 1: If all the four atoms directly attached to the chiral carbon are different, priority
depends on their atomic number. The atom having highest atomic number gets the
highest priority, i.e., (1). The atom with lowest atomic number is given lowest priority,
i.e. (2), the group with next higher atomic number is given the next higher priority (3)
and so on.
Stereo isomerism
NOMENCLATURE OF OPTICAL ISOMERS
R.S. NOMENCLATURE
Rule 2: if two or more than two isotopes of the same element are present, the
isotope of higher mass receives the higher priority.
Rule 3: if two or more of the atoms directly bonded to the chiral carbon are
identical, the atomic number of the next atom is used for priority assignment.
If these atoms also have identical atoms attached to them, priority is
determined at the first point of difference along the chain. The atom that has
attached to it an atom of higher priority gets the higher priority.

Rule 4: If a double or a triple bond is linked to chiral centre, the involved electrons are
duplicated or triplicated respectively.

NOMENCLATURE OF OPTICAL ISOMERS
R.S. NOMENCLATURE
STEP-II:
 The molecule is then visualised so that the group of lowest priority (4) is
directed away from the observer (at this position the lowest priority is at the
bottom of the plane).
 The remaining three groups are in a plane facing the observer.
 If the eye travels clockwise as we look from the group of highest priority to the
group of second and third priority (i.e. 1 2 3 with respect to 4) the
configuration is designated R.
 If arrangement of groups is in anticlockwise direction, the configuration is
designated as S.

REACTION OF CHIRAL MOLECULE
CHIRAL SYNTHESIS
most of the molecules in Nature are chiral, and that Nature usually produces these
molecules as single enantiomers. e.g. amino acids, the sugars, ephedrine,
pseudoephedrine, and tartaric acid.
in the laboratory, if we make chiral compounds from achiral starting materials we
are domed to get racemic mixtures
“The process in which a chiral compound is synthesized from a symmetric
compound to yield the (+) isomer or (-) Isomer directly is termed Chiral
Synthesis”
If synthesis is carried out under the asymmetric influence of a suitable optically
active reagent. Only one of optically active isomers (+) or (– )is formed.
For example: the reduction of pyruvic acid, in the laboratory leads to (+-)-lactic acid
(racemic mixture) On the other hand, pyruvic acid is reduced by yeast to (-)-lactic
acid only
Stereo isomerism
REACTION OF CHIRAL MOLECULE
WALDEN INVERSION
 The reaction is named after Russian, Latvian, and
German chemist Paul Walden who discovered it in
1895.
 The inversion of configuration at a chiral center
during a bimolecular nucleophilic
substitution (SN2 reaction) is generally known as
the Walden inversion.
 the molecule can form two enantiomers around
the chiral center.
 Walden inversion transforms the structure of the
molecule from one enantiomeric form to another.
 Walter inversion has an inversion stereochemistry
at the reaction center.

REACTION OF CHIRAL MOLECULE
MECHANISM OF WALDEN INVERSION
The mechanism of Walden inversion is similar to that of an SN2 reaction. Nucleophilic
attack on the carbon atom forms an intermediate. This step is followed by the
displacement of the leaving group resulting in the product.
Stereo isomerism
REACTION OF CHIRAL MOLECULE
RACEMIZATION
 A compound undergoes a reaction and the transformation produces an equal
mixture of both possible enantiomers also called a racemic mixture.
 Conversion of an optically active compound into a racemic mixture is called
racemization.
 Racemization can be accomplished by means of heat light or by conversion of
the isomer into an optically inactive intermediate which reverts to the racemic
mixture.
Stereo isomerism
RESOLUTION OF RACEMIC MIXTURE
Chemical Resolution:
1. using enantiomerically pure compound(Covelent Bond): Resolution of alcohol by
enatiomerically pure (R)-mandelic acid or by ester formation
Stereo isomerism
RESOLUTION OF RACEMIC MIXTURE
Chemical Resolution:
2. Resolutions using diastereoisomeric salts (Ionic bond): e.g. Resolution of the
enantiomers of naproxen (NSAIDs) : (S) enantiomer
Stereo isomerism
RESOLUTION OF RACEMIC MIXTURE
Chemical Resolution:
3. Resolutions can be carried out by chromatography on chiral materials:
 If the stationary phase is made chiral by bonding it with an enantiomerically pure
compound (often a derivative of an amino acid), chromatography can be used to
separate enantiomers.
 Interactions even weaker than ionic bonds.
 Relies on a difference in affinity between a stationary phase (often silica) and a mobile
phase (the solvent travelling through the stationary phase, known as the eluent)
 important when the compounds being resolved have no functional groups suitable for
making the derivatives (usually esters or salts)
Stereo isomerism
RESOLUTION OF RACEMIC MIXTURE
Biochemical Resolution:
 Decomposition by bacteria or mould
 E.g. Penicillium glaucum decomposes (+)-tartaric acid more readily than a (-)-
isomer
ASYMMETRIC SYNTHESIS
 Asymmetric synthesis as defined a reaction in which an achiral unit in an
ensemble of substrate molecules is converted into a chiral unit in such a
manner that unequal amounts of stereoisomers are produced.
 it is the synthesis of a compound by a method that favours the
formation of chiral molecules in unequal amounts.
 Asymmetric synthesis also called chiral synthesis or stereoselective;
synthesis.
(Not chiral synthesis)
• Stereoselective Reaction:
• This reaction further specialized
into diastereoselective
or enantioselective
depending upon whether it is a
diastereomer or an enantiomer that
is being produced selectively.
Chiral pool synthesis
• Chiral pool refers to a collection of enantiomerically pure molecules
available from nature.
• Chiral pool synthesis is one of the simplest and oldest approaches for
enantioselective synthesis.
• This can meet the criteria for enantioselective synthesis when a new
chiral species is created, such as in an SN2 reaction.
• Common chiral starting materials derived from nature include amino acids,
chiral carboxylic acids and monosaccharides.
• Chiral pool substrates that are commonly used in organic synthesis
contain functional groups that are poor leaving groups.
Chiral auxiliary approach
• A chiral auxiliary is a chiral molecular unit that can be temporarily
incorporated in an achiral substrate to guide selective formation of one of
a possible pair of enantiomers.
• Chiral auxiliaries are optically active compounds and
introduce chirality in otherwise achiral starting materials.
Asymmetric epoxidation of alkenes
(Sharpless Epoxidation)
• The Sharpless Epoxidation is an enantioselective epoxidation of
allylic alcohols.
• Converts primary and secondary allylic alcohols into 2,3
epoxyalcohols
•The reaction is enantioselective
(only one enantiomer produced)
• Enantiomer formed depends on
stereochemistry of catalyst .

Stereo isomerism

  • 1. STEREO ISOMERISM Akhilesh Kumar Bilaiya, M. Pharm (Medicinal Pharmaceutical Chemistry) Assistant Professor Sri Aurobindo Institute of Pharmacy, Indore (M.P.)
  • 2. Background The drug thalidomide which was used during the 1950s to suppress the morning sickness. The drug unfortunately, was prescribed as a mixture of stereoisomers, and while one stereoisomer actively worked on controlling morning sickness, the other stereoisomer caused serious birth defects. The study of stereochemistry focuses on stereoisomers and spans the entire spectrum of organic, inorganic, biological, physical and especially supramolecular chemistry. Stereochemistry includes method for determining and describing these relationships; the effect on the physical or biological properties.
  • 3. Introduction STEREOCHEMISTRY: DEFINITION The branch of chemistry which deals with three dimensional structure of molecule and their effect on physical and chemical properties is known as stereochemistry. To represent molecule as three dimensional object we need at least one carbon sp3- hybridized.
  • 4. Stereo isomerism OPTICAL ACTIVITY  Ordinary lights are composed of rays of different wavelengths vibrating in all directions perpendicular to the path of its propagation.  These vibrations can be made to occur in a single plane by passing ordinary light through the polarizing Nicol prism.  Such light whose vibrations occur in only one plane is called plane polarized light  Compounds which rotate the plane of polarized light are called optically active compounds and this property is known as optical activity.
  • 5. Stereo isomerism OPTICAL ACTIVITY Rotation of plane of polarized light can be of two types.  Dextrorotatory : If the compound rotates the plane of polarization to the right(clockwise) it is said to be dextrorotatory (Latin: dexter-right) and is denoted by (+), or ‘d’.  Laevorotatory : If the compound rotates the plane of polarization to the left(anticlockwise) it is said to be laevorotatory (Latin: laevus-left) and is denoted by (-) or ‘l  The change in the angle of plane of polarization is known as optical rotation.  The optical rotation is detected and measured by an instrument called Polarimeter.
  • 6. Stereo isomerism OPTICAL ACTIVITY  The measurement of optical activity is reported in terms of specific rotation [α], which is given as, [α] λ t = α/lc  [α]= specific rotation  t = temperature of measurement  λ=wavelength of the light used  α= observed angle of rotation  l= length of sample tube in decimeter  c=concentration of the sample in g/mL of solution
  • 7. Stereo isomerism CHIRALITY The word chiral (Greek word Chier,meaning hand) is used for those objects which have right- handed and left-handed forms i.e., molecules which have “handedness” and the general property of “handedness” is termed chirality. An object which is not superimposable upon its mirror image is chiral. ACHIRALITY Object and molecules which are superimposable on their mirror images is achiral. Achiral molecule has internal plane of symmetry, a hypothetical plane which bisects an object or molecule into mirror-reflactive halves. An object or molecule with an internal plane of symmetry is achiral.
  • 8. Stereo isomerism Asymmetric center and chiral center Three terms are used to designate, a carbon atom bonded tetrahedrally to four different substituent in a chiral molecule: Asymmetric atom, chiral center or stereocenter.
  • 9. Stereo isomerism Stereogenic center or Stereocenter  A stereogenic center is defined as an atom on which an interchange of any two atoms or groups result in a new stereoisomer  When the new stereoisomers is an enantiomer ,the stereocenter is called chiral center  All stereocenters are not tetrahedral.
  • 11. Stereo isomerism ELEMENTS OF SYMMETRY Elements of symmetry offer a simple device to decide whether a molecule is chiral or achiral, i.e., whether it is superimposable on its mirror image or not. When a molecule has no plane of symmetry, no centre of symmetry and no alternating axis of symmetry, it is non superimposable on its mirror image and is chiral (optically active).  PLANE OF SYMMETRY The plane which divides a molecule in to two equal halves which are related as object and mirror image is known as plane of symmetry. For example
  • 12. Stereo isomerism ELEMENTS OF SYMMETRY  CENTER OF SYMMETRY  A center of symmetry in a molecule is said to exist if a line is drawn from any atom or group to this point and when extended to an equal distance beyond this point, meets the identical atom or group.  All lines are passing through this point, hence it is the center point of the molecule.  A centre of symmetry is usually present only in an even number ring. For example, the molecule of trans -2,4-dimethyl-cyclobutane –trans-1,3- dicarboxaylic acid has a center of symmetry.
  • 13. Stereo isomerism ELEMENTS OF SYMMETRY  CENTER OF SYMMETRY Another interesting example is dimethyl ketopiperizine. This has two isomers, cis and trans. The cis form has no plane of symmetry or centre of symmetry. The trans form on other hand, has a centre of symmetry.
  • 14. Stereo isomerism ELEMENTS OF SYMMETRY  ALTERNATING AXIS OF SYMMETRY A molecule possesses an alternating axis of symmetry if, when rotated through an angle 360/n about this axis and then followed by reflection in a plane perpendicular to the axis, the molecule is indistinguishable from the original molecule. Alternating axis of symmetry is rare and can be present in cyclic as well as open chain compounds.
  • 15. Stereo isomerism STEREOISOMERS Isomers having the same molecular formula but different spatial arrangement of their atoms are known as stereoisomer. They are of following types: Enantiomers Stereoisomers which are non superimposable mirror images of each other are called enantiomers. Chirality is necessary and sufficient condition for existence of enantiomers. These always exist as discrete pairs. Eg
  • 16. Stereo isomerism Diastereomers Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other are called diastereomers.
  • 17. Stereo isomerism NOMENCLATURE OF OPTICAL ISOMERS D, L SYSTEM OF NOMENCLATURE This nomenclature is mainly used in sugar chemistry or optically active polyhydric carbonyl compounds. This is a relative nomenclature because all the configurations described with respect to glyceraldehydes. All sugars whose Fischer projection formula shows the OH group on the right hand side of the chiral atom belong to the D-series.
  • 18. Stereo isomerism NOMENCLATURE OF OPTICAL ISOMERS D, L SYSTEM OF NOMENCLATURE It must be noted that there is no relation between sign of rotation and (+, - or d,l ) and configuration (D and L) of enentiomer. Any compound that can be prepared from, or converted in to D(+) glyceraldehydes will belong to D-series and similarly any compound that can be prepared from, or converted in to L(-) glyceraldehydes will belongs to the L-series.
  • 19. Stereo isomerism NOMENCLATURE OF OPTICAL ISOMERS R.S. NOMENCLATURE  The order of rearrangement of four groups around a chiral carbon is called the absolute configuration around that atom.  System which indicates absolute configuration was given by three chemists R.S. Cahn, C.K. Ingold and V. Prelog.  This system is known as (R) and (S) system or the Cahn-Ingold Prelog system.  The letter (R) comes from the Latin rectus (means right) while (S) comes from the Latin sinister (means left).  Any Chiral carbon atoms have either an (R) configuration or a (S) configuration.  Therefore one enantiomer is (R) and the other is (S).  A recemic mixture may be designated as (RS), meaning a mixture of the two.
  • 20. Stereo isomerism NOMENCLATURE OF OPTICAL ISOMERS R.S. NOMENCLATURE The R, S nomenclature involves two steps: Step I: The four ligands (atom or groups) attached to the chiral centre are assigned a sequence of priority according to sequence rules. Rule 1: If all the four atoms directly attached to the chiral carbon are different, priority depends on their atomic number. The atom having highest atomic number gets the highest priority, i.e., (1). The atom with lowest atomic number is given lowest priority, i.e. (2), the group with next higher atomic number is given the next higher priority (3) and so on.
  • 21. Stereo isomerism NOMENCLATURE OF OPTICAL ISOMERS R.S. NOMENCLATURE Rule 2: if two or more than two isotopes of the same element are present, the isotope of higher mass receives the higher priority. Rule 3: if two or more of the atoms directly bonded to the chiral carbon are identical, the atomic number of the next atom is used for priority assignment. If these atoms also have identical atoms attached to them, priority is determined at the first point of difference along the chain. The atom that has attached to it an atom of higher priority gets the higher priority.
  • 22. Stereo isomerism NOMENCLATURE OF OPTICAL ISOMERS R.S. NOMENCLATURE
  • 23. Stereo isomerism NOMENCLATURE OF OPTICAL ISOMERS R.S. NOMENCLATURE Rule 4: If a double or a triple bond is linked to chiral centre, the involved electrons are duplicated or triplicated respectively.
  • 24. Stereo isomerism NOMENCLATURE OF OPTICAL ISOMERS R.S. NOMENCLATURE STEP-II:  The molecule is then visualised so that the group of lowest priority (4) is directed away from the observer (at this position the lowest priority is at the bottom of the plane).  The remaining three groups are in a plane facing the observer.  If the eye travels clockwise as we look from the group of highest priority to the group of second and third priority (i.e. 1 2 3 with respect to 4) the configuration is designated R.  If arrangement of groups is in anticlockwise direction, the configuration is designated as S.
  • 25. Stereo isomerism NOMENCLATURE OF OPTICAL ISOMERS R.S. NOMENCLATURE
  • 26. Stereo isomerism REACTION OF CHIRAL MOLECULE CHIRAL SYNTHESIS most of the molecules in Nature are chiral, and that Nature usually produces these molecules as single enantiomers. e.g. amino acids, the sugars, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and tartaric acid. in the laboratory, if we make chiral compounds from achiral starting materials we are domed to get racemic mixtures “The process in which a chiral compound is synthesized from a symmetric compound to yield the (+) isomer or (-) Isomer directly is termed Chiral Synthesis” If synthesis is carried out under the asymmetric influence of a suitable optically active reagent. Only one of optically active isomers (+) or (– )is formed. For example: the reduction of pyruvic acid, in the laboratory leads to (+-)-lactic acid (racemic mixture) On the other hand, pyruvic acid is reduced by yeast to (-)-lactic acid only
  • 27. Stereo isomerism REACTION OF CHIRAL MOLECULE WALDEN INVERSION  The reaction is named after Russian, Latvian, and German chemist Paul Walden who discovered it in 1895.  The inversion of configuration at a chiral center during a bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN2 reaction) is generally known as the Walden inversion.  the molecule can form two enantiomers around the chiral center.  Walden inversion transforms the structure of the molecule from one enantiomeric form to another.  Walter inversion has an inversion stereochemistry at the reaction center.
  • 28. Stereo isomerism REACTION OF CHIRAL MOLECULE WALDEN INVERSION
  • 29. Stereo isomerism REACTION OF CHIRAL MOLECULE MECHANISM OF WALDEN INVERSION The mechanism of Walden inversion is similar to that of an SN2 reaction. Nucleophilic attack on the carbon atom forms an intermediate. This step is followed by the displacement of the leaving group resulting in the product.
  • 30. Stereo isomerism REACTION OF CHIRAL MOLECULE RACEMIZATION  A compound undergoes a reaction and the transformation produces an equal mixture of both possible enantiomers also called a racemic mixture.  Conversion of an optically active compound into a racemic mixture is called racemization.  Racemization can be accomplished by means of heat light or by conversion of the isomer into an optically inactive intermediate which reverts to the racemic mixture.
  • 31. Stereo isomerism RESOLUTION OF RACEMIC MIXTURE Chemical Resolution: 1. using enantiomerically pure compound(Covelent Bond): Resolution of alcohol by enatiomerically pure (R)-mandelic acid or by ester formation
  • 32. Stereo isomerism RESOLUTION OF RACEMIC MIXTURE Chemical Resolution: 2. Resolutions using diastereoisomeric salts (Ionic bond): e.g. Resolution of the enantiomers of naproxen (NSAIDs) : (S) enantiomer
  • 33. Stereo isomerism RESOLUTION OF RACEMIC MIXTURE Chemical Resolution: 3. Resolutions can be carried out by chromatography on chiral materials:  If the stationary phase is made chiral by bonding it with an enantiomerically pure compound (often a derivative of an amino acid), chromatography can be used to separate enantiomers.  Interactions even weaker than ionic bonds.  Relies on a difference in affinity between a stationary phase (often silica) and a mobile phase (the solvent travelling through the stationary phase, known as the eluent)  important when the compounds being resolved have no functional groups suitable for making the derivatives (usually esters or salts)
  • 34. Stereo isomerism RESOLUTION OF RACEMIC MIXTURE Biochemical Resolution:  Decomposition by bacteria or mould  E.g. Penicillium glaucum decomposes (+)-tartaric acid more readily than a (-)- isomer
  • 35. ASYMMETRIC SYNTHESIS  Asymmetric synthesis as defined a reaction in which an achiral unit in an ensemble of substrate molecules is converted into a chiral unit in such a manner that unequal amounts of stereoisomers are produced.  it is the synthesis of a compound by a method that favours the formation of chiral molecules in unequal amounts.  Asymmetric synthesis also called chiral synthesis or stereoselective; synthesis.
  • 37. • Stereoselective Reaction: • This reaction further specialized into diastereoselective or enantioselective depending upon whether it is a diastereomer or an enantiomer that is being produced selectively.
  • 38. Chiral pool synthesis • Chiral pool refers to a collection of enantiomerically pure molecules available from nature. • Chiral pool synthesis is one of the simplest and oldest approaches for enantioselective synthesis. • This can meet the criteria for enantioselective synthesis when a new chiral species is created, such as in an SN2 reaction. • Common chiral starting materials derived from nature include amino acids, chiral carboxylic acids and monosaccharides. • Chiral pool substrates that are commonly used in organic synthesis contain functional groups that are poor leaving groups.
  • 39. Chiral auxiliary approach • A chiral auxiliary is a chiral molecular unit that can be temporarily incorporated in an achiral substrate to guide selective formation of one of a possible pair of enantiomers. • Chiral auxiliaries are optically active compounds and introduce chirality in otherwise achiral starting materials.
  • 40. Asymmetric epoxidation of alkenes (Sharpless Epoxidation) • The Sharpless Epoxidation is an enantioselective epoxidation of allylic alcohols. • Converts primary and secondary allylic alcohols into 2,3 epoxyalcohols •The reaction is enantioselective (only one enantiomer produced) • Enantiomer formed depends on stereochemistry of catalyst .
  • 41. Asymmetric catalysis: Ketone reduction O HO H i) Borane (BH3), oxazaborolidine catalyst N Ph Ph H O B Me ii) hydrolysis (work up) Oxazaborolidine catalyst: How it works: B H Ph Ph O N H B H Me O H Concave molecule hydride directed to one face.
