This document discusses isomerism and stereochemistry. It defines isomers as compounds with the same molecular formula but different structures or arrangements. Isomerism includes structural isomers like chain, positional, and functional isomers as well as stereoisomers. Stereoisomers have the same connectivity but different spatial arrangements and include enantiomers, which are non-superimposable mirror images, and diastereomers. Chiral molecules lack symmetry elements like planes and centers of symmetry and cannot be superimposed on their mirror images, while achiral molecules can.
This document discusses different types of stereoisomers including enantiomers, diastereomers, and conformational isomers. Enantiomers are chiral molecules that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other that rotate plane-polarized light in opposite directions. Diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not mirror images and have different physical properties. There are two types of diastereomers: geometric isomers which have substituents in different orientations around a double bond, and conformational isomers which have different rotations around single bonds. Conformational isomers include eclipsed conformers where groups are closest together and staggered conformers where groups are farthest apart.
1) Optical isomers, also known as enantiomers, are non-superimposable mirror images of chiral molecules that contain an asymmetric carbon atom bonded to four different groups.
2) Enantiomers rotate polarized light in opposite directions and often react differently with other chiral molecules.
3) Many drugs, amino acids, and other biological molecules exist as enantiomers but only one "handedness" is active in the body, with the other sometimes being harmful. Thalidomide caused birth defects because the inactive enantiomer converted to the active form in the body.

The document summarizes the Lossen rearrangement reaction. It begins with a brief history of the reaction's discovery in 1872 by W. Lossen. It then provides a general introduction and outlines the reaction mechanism. Specifically, it describes how a beta-hydroxamic acid is converted to an isocyanate intermediate via formation of an O-acyl derivative, which spontaneously rearranges to form the isocyanate. The isocyanate can then react with water to form an amine and carbon dioxide. Finally, it lists four references for additional information.
This document provides an outline and overview of stereochemistry concepts including isomerism, chiral and achiral carbons, enantiomers, diastereomers, geometric isomerism, asymmetric synthesis, and optical resolution methods. Key topics covered are classification of isomers, properties of chiral carbons, differences between enantiomers and diastereomers, cis-trans isomers in cyclic compounds, how asymmetric synthesis produces unequal product amounts, and methods for separating enantiomers including mechanical, biochemical and chemical separation. Applications of stereochemistry in medicinal compounds and biological systems are also briefly discussed.
Axial chirality arises from non-planar arrangements of four groups around a chiral axis, as in allenes and ortho-substituted biphenyls. Allenes have cumulated double bonds between carbons, giving a linear geometry. Unsymmetrically substituted allenes are chiral. Biphenyls can be made chiral through different ortho substituents, existing as atropisomers with a barrier to rotation. The R/S or P/M notation is used to assign configurations to axially chiral systems like these based on priority rules and sense of rotation along the chiral axis.
The document discusses the D and L nomenclature system used to designate the configurations of chiral carbons in carbohydrates and amino acids. It explains that D and L refer to the stereochemistry of glyceraldehyde, with D having the hydroxyl group on the right and L having it on the left in the Fischer projection. The rules for assigning D and L based on the orientation of functional groups around the penultimate carbon are described. In contrast to R/S systems, D and L name the configuration of the entire molecule based on a single stereocenter.
Pyrrole is a five-membered heterocyclic aromatic compound with the formula C4H4NH. It has a planar structure that is aromatic due to delocalized pi electrons. Pyrrole is prepared through various methods and undergoes electrophilic substitution and other reactions. It is a weak base and acid and has applications as an intermediate in pharmaceuticals, dyes, and other organic compounds.
This document discusses stereochemistry and chirality in drug molecules. It defines stereoisomers as molecules with the same bonding but different spatial arrangements, and enantiomers as two stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other. Chiral drugs can exist as single enantiomers or as racemic mixtures of both. Using single enantiomers is preferable since biological interactions may differ for each form. The document provides examples of naming enantiomers and determining chirality and stereoisomers in molecules.
The document provides information about geometrical isomerism including definitions, examples, and methods of determination. It defines geometrical isomerism as arising from restricted rotation around a double bond that leads to different spatial arrangements of atoms. Common types of geometrical isomers include cis-trans, E-Z, and syn-anti. Methods for determining configurations include cyclization reactions, conversion to compounds of known configuration, differences in physical properties, and use of stereoselective or stereospecific reactions.
1. The document discusses the importance of stereochemistry in pharmacy. Biological systems often have a preference for specific stereoisomers of drugs. For example, only the L-forms of amino acids are used in protein synthesis.
2. Drug efficacy, side effects, and toxicity can be stereospecific. Only one enantiomer of drugs like statins are used clinically as the "eutomer", while the other "distomers" may not have the desired effects or could even be harmful.
3. Biological receptors like enzymes are also chiral and will only interact with one stereoisomer of a drug. This is why drugs are often administered as single enantiomers rather than racemic mixtures.
This document discusses conformational isomerism, which results from different three-dimensional arrangements of atoms that can form due to the rotation of single bonds. It focuses on the conformations of ethane, butane, cycloalkanes like cyclopropane and cyclohexane, and amine compounds. The key conformations discussed are staggered, eclipsed, chair, boat, and twist-boat, with the document explaining their relative stabilities and energies. It also discusses angle strain, torsional strain, and steric strain that can result from different conformations.
The document discusses the conformations of ethane and butane molecules. It explains that ethane can exist in staggered or eclipsed conformations, with the staggered being more stable due to less repulsive interactions. Six conformations are possible when one methyl group rotates, with three staggered and three eclipsed. Staggered conformations have lower potential energy. Butane also has staggered and eclipsed conformations, with the anti conformation being the most stable due to the methyl groups being furthest apart.
Biphenyl derivatives & Atropisomerism:Optical activity in Biphenyls, Stereochemistry of biphenyl derivatives, rules and assigning RS configuration to biphenyls
This document discusses the stereochemistry of allenes, spiranes, and biphenyls. It explains that allenes with different substituents on the terminal carbons can exhibit chirality and enantiomers. Spiranes can also show chirality and optical isomerism if they have different substituents. Biphenyls become chiral when large substituents in the ortho position prevent free rotation of the phenyl rings, leading to atropisomerism with a chiral axis and restricted rotation.

Stereo selective and specific reactions optical purityDr Yogi Pandya
Stereospecific reactions produce different stereoisomeric products from different stereoisomeric starting materials. Stereoselective reactions preferentially form one stereoisomer over others. Examples include the addition of bromine to cis-2-butene, which gives a racemic mixture, whereas addition to trans-2-butene gives a meso diastereomer. Stereoselectivity can be achieved through kinetic or thermodynamic control. Enantioselectivity involves preferential attack on one enantiotopic face, while diastereoselectivity arises from steric hindrance. Optical purity and enantiomeric excess quantify the amounts of each enantiomer present.
Conformational analysis of ethane butane aliphaticslsk1976
The document discusses the conformational analysis of several aliphatic compounds including ethane, butane, and 1,2-dichloroethane. It defines important terms related to conformation such as staggered, eclipsed, gauche, and anti. It then analyzes the potential energy diagrams and relative stabilities of different conformations for each compound. The most stable conformations are those without torsional or steric strain, while eclipsed conformations involving atom or group overlaps are highest in energy.
Stereochemistry is the ‘chemistry of space’ , that is stereochemistry deals with the spatial arrangements of atoms and groups in a molecule.
Stereochemistry can trace its roots to the year 1842 when the French chemist Louis Pasteur made an observation that the salts of tartaric acid collected from a wine production vessel have the ability to rotate plane-polarized light, whereas the same salts from different sources did not have this ability.
Isomers are compounds that contain exactly the same number of atoms, i.e., they have exactly the same empirical formula, but differ from each other by the way in which the atoms are arranged.
Constitutional isomers, also known as structural isomers, are specific types of isomers that share the same molecular formula but have different bonding atomic organization and bonding patterns.
Stereoisomers are molecules having the same molecular formula and the atomic arrangement, but differ in their spatial arrangement.

This document discusses different types of isomers, including structural isomers and stereoisomers. It defines structural isomers as molecules with the same molecular formula but different bonding patterns or atomic organization. There are three main types of structural isomers: skeletal isomers, positional isomers, and functional isomers. Stereoisomers are isomers that have the same bonding patterns but different spatial arrangements, including enantiomers (mirror images) and diastereomers (non-mirror images). The document provides examples and diagrams to illustrate these different types of isomers.
1. Stereochemistry is the study of stereoisomers, which are compounds with the same molecular and structural formulas but different spatial arrangements of atoms.
2. There are two main types of stereoisomers: geometric isomers (cis-trans isomers) which differ in atom or group arrangements around double or adjacent bonds, and optical isomers (enantiomers and diastereomers) which are non-superimposable mirror images.
3. Geometric isomers exist due to restricted bond rotation, and criteria for their existence include similar groups on adjacent carbon atoms or in cyclic molecules.
This document provides an overview of stereoisomerism and chiral chemistry. It discusses key topics such as:
- The thalidomide disaster which showed that stereoisomers can have different biological effects.
- Definitions of stereochemistry, chirality, stereoisomers including enantiomers and diastereomers.
- Methods for determining and describing stereochemistry including R/S nomenclature.
- Reactions involving chiral molecules such as asymmetric synthesis, resolution of racemic mixtures, and Walden inversion.
Isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural or spatial arrangements. There are several types of isomers including structural isomers, stereoisomers, and optical isomers. Structural isomers have the same atoms bonded differently. Stereoisomers have the same bonding but different 3D orientations. Optical isomers cannot be superimposed and rotate plane-polarized light in opposite directions. Isomers are important in drug development and biological processes because evolution favors specific isomer forms for functions. The structures and positions of groups in isomers strongly influence chemistry and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Stereochemistry deals with the three-dimensional arrangements of atoms in molecules. There are different types of isomers including stereoisomers which have the same molecular formula but different spatial arrangements. Configurational isomers have fixed atomic arrangements while conformational isomers can rotate around bonds. Geometric isomers have different arrangements in space and optical isomers are mirror images that rotate plane-polarized light in opposite directions. The stability and reactivity of cyclic compounds is influenced by their conformations, with the chair form typically being most stable for cyclohexane. Chirality is important in biology as enantiomers can have different biological effects.
1. Stereoisomers differ in how atoms or groups of atoms are oriented in space, even if they have the same molecular formula and bonding. There are two types: conformational isomers, which rapidly interconvert, and configurational isomers, which do not.
2. Enantiomers are non-superimposable mirror images of each other and are examples of configurational isomers. A mixture of equal parts of both enantiomers is called a racemic mixture.
3. Chiral molecules have asymmetric carbon atoms bonded to four different groups and can exist as enantiomers. Common methods to represent chiral molecules include wedge diagrams, Fischer projections, and Newman projections.

This document discusses stereochemistry and isomerism in organic compounds. It defines stereoisomers as isomers that have the same connectivity of atoms but differ in their spatial arrangements. Optical isomers are stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images and can rotate the plane of polarized light in opposite directions. Chiral molecules have an asymmetric carbon atom and are optically active, while achiral molecules are optically inactive. Enantiomers are a pair of chiral molecules that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. Diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not mirror images. Absolute configuration defines the actual spatial arrangement of atoms, while relative configuration relates a compound's configuration to a
Berzelius coined the term isomerism to describe compounds with the same elemental composition but different physical and chemical properties. There are two major classes of isomers: constitutional isomers have different structures and properties, while stereoisomers only differ in how atoms are oriented in space and have the same properties. Stereoisomers can be further divided into configurational isomers, which cannot interconvert without breaking bonds, and conformational isomers, which can rapidly interconvert at room temperature.
This document discusses stereochemistry and isomers. It defines constitutional and stereoisomers. Stereoisomers include cis-trans isomers which result from restricted bond rotation, and enantiomers which are non-superimposable mirror images. Chiral compounds contain an asymmetric carbon bonded to four different groups and can rotate polarized light. The R/S system is used to designate stereochemistry at chiral centers. Compounds with multiple chiral centers can give rise to diastereomers and meso compounds.

The document also defines different types of isomers like structural isomers, enantiomers and diastereomers. It outlines several methods for representing 3D molecular structures like wedge-dash, Fischer, sawhorse and Newman projections.
STEREOISOMERISM by Mr Bhupendra patidarPrabhat Kumar
This document discusses different types of isomers, including constitutional isomers and stereoisomers. Stereoisomers differ in the spatial orientation of their atoms but have the same molecular formula and functional groups. There are several types of stereoisomers: enantiomers, which are non-superimposable mirror images; diastereomers, which are not mirror images; and meso compounds, which have an internal plane of symmetry and are optically inactive despite having multiple stereocenters. The document also discusses configuration, specific rotation, Fischer projections, and the distinguishing characteristics of enantiomers and diastereomers.

Q.1) Define / Explain the terms: (ii) Plane of symmetry. (S-12, S-13, S-14, W-14(old), W-15 & S-16, 2 Mark)
Defination:
It is imaginary plane which divides the molecule into two equal
parts in such a way that one part is the mirror image of the other,
such a compound is said to have plane of symmetry & it is
optically inactive (achiral).
For example,
2-chloropropane has a plane of symmetry while 2-chlorobutane does not have.
A plane of symmetry is a mirror plane that cuts a molecule in half, so that one half
of the molecule is a reflection of the other half.

that, straight line are drawn through this point meet identical
atoms or group of atoms at the same distance from the centre,
such a compound is said to have centre of symmetry & it is
optically inactive (achiral).

49. a) n-fold simple axis of symmetry:
Defination:
It is imaginary axis passing the molecule
such that when molecule is rotated about
it’s axis, then same arrangement is repeated
more than once, in one complete rotation
(i.e., 360o).
This rotation is indistinguishable from the
original.
Q.1) Explain with suitable example: (i) n-fold simple axis of symmetry. (S-15, 2 Mark)
Q.2) What is n-fold simple axis of symmetry? Give its example. (S-17, 4 Mark)
50. a) n-fold simple axis of symmetry:
For example,
(E)-1,2- dichloroethane has a simple axis of symmetry that passes through
the midpoint of the molecule and is perpendicular to the plane of
molecule.
e.g.2) Methyl chloride has an axis passing through its midpoint about which
a 3600/3 = 1200 rotation produces an orientation identical of the original.
Rotation through 3600/2 = 1800 about the axis leads to an arrangement identical
to the original.
Therefore, it possesses two fold axis of symmetry.
51. (b) n-fold alternating axis of symmetry:
Defination:
A molecule is said to have n-fold alternating axis of
symmetry, if, a molecule is rotated about an axis
passing through the molecule through ‘θ’ or ‘α’
degrees (i.e., angle of rotation) and the rotated
molecule is reflected in mirror, i.e, perpendicular
to the axis, then same arrangement or reflected
image is identical with the original structure.
For example,
1,3-dichloro-2,4-difluro-cyclobutane is rotated through 180o
about the axis passing through the centre of molecule and
then reflected in a mirror perpendicular to the axis, an
arrangement superimposable on the original is obtained.
52. (b) n-fold alternating axis of symmetry:
Thus, this compound has two fold alternating axis of symmetry

Note:
Chiral comes from the Greek: Cheir, meaning
hand.
e.g. Left & right hands are mirror images of each
other, but they are not identical,
i.e, they do not superimposable on each other.

67. Everything has a mirror image. What’s important in Chemistry
is whether a molecule is identical to or different from its
mirror image.
Some molecules are like hands. Left and right hands are
mirror images of each other, but they are not identical. If you
try mentally place one hand inside the other hand you can
never superimpose either all the fingers, or the tops and
palms. To superimpose an object on its mirror image means to
align all parts of the object with its mirror image.
With molecules, this means aligning all atoms and all bonds.
Left and right hands are chiral: they are mirror images that do
not superimpose on each other.
68. Other molecules are like socks.
Two socks from a pair are mirror images that are
superimposable.
One sock can fit inside another, aligning toes and tops
and bottoms.
A sock and its mirror image are identical.
A molecule (or object) that is superimposable on
its mirror image is said to be achiral.

Whether non- superimposable mirrer images?
Yes No
Diastereomers

Enantiomers
(mirror images)
72. If you don't know :
mirror images are the reflections of an
object.
If two objects are superimposable, it means
you can not tell them apart, they are identical.
If two objects are non-superimposable, then
you can always distinguish them.
Bring these together, and it means we are
comparing an object with it's mirror image to
see if the object can be distinguished from it's
mirror image or not.

(i) Enantiomers (both d or l-forms) have identical physical
properties (like melting point, boiling point, densities, refractive
indices, solubility, etc.)
(ii) Hence, it cannot be separated by Fractional distillation or
Crystallization.
(iii) Enantiomers (both d or l-forms) have one or more asymmetric
(Chiral) C-atoms.
(iv) Enantiomers are optically active (Chiral).
(v) Enantiomers have identical chemical properties (except towards
optically active reagents).
(vi) They are sterioisomers that are mirror images.
(vii) Two enantiomers (d & l forms) rotates PPL to an equal extent but
in the opposite direction.
(viii) An equal amount (50:50) of two enantiomers (d & l forms) is
called a racemic mixture or a recemate.
A racemic mixture is optically inactive.
78. Mirror Objects – Carbon with 4 different substituents. We
expect enantiomers (mirror objects).
Reflect!
These are mirror objects. Are they the same thing just viewed
differently ?? Can we superimpose them?
We can
superimpose two
atoms. but not all
four atoms.
The mirror plane still relates the two structures. Notice that we can
characterize or name the molecules by putting the blue in the back, drawing
a circle from purple, to red, to green. Clockwise on the right and
counterclockwise on the left. Arbitrarily call them R and S.

relationship are called Diastereoisomers or
Diastereoisomorphs and this phenomenon is

superimposable, they are identical achiral
compounds called diastereoisomers.

one conformation.
Q.1) Explain Diastereomers with suitable examples. (W-13, 4 Mark)
Q.2) Any pair of stereosiomers which are not mirror Images are known as:
(a) enantiomers (b) diastereomers (c) d-l isomers (d) both (a) and (b)

Q.3) Write note on: (i) Diastereomers (S-15, 2 Mark)
82. LOGO
Properties of Diastereoisomers:
(i) Diastereoisomers have different physical
properties (like melting point, boiling point,
densities, refractive indices, solubility, etc.)
(ii) Hence, they can be separated by
Fractional distillation or Crystallization.
(iii) Diastereoisomers may or may not have
asymmetric (Chiral) C-atoms.
(iv) Diastereoisomers may or may not be
optically active (Chiral or Achiral).
(v) Diastereoisomers have similar, but not
identical chemical properties.
(vi) They are sterioisomers that are not
mirror images.
83. Now Superimposable mirror objects:
Tetrahedral Carbon with at least two identical
substituents.
Reflection can interchange the two red substituents.
Clearly interchanging the two reds leads to the same
structure, superimposable! Remember it does not
make any difference where the mirror is held for the
reflection.
This molecule does not have an enantiomer; the
mirror object is superimposable on the original, the
same object.

93. D and L system:
The oldest system of nomenclature of enantiomers is D
& L system.
D and L system was used to specify the configuration at
the asymmetric carbon atom.
In general, the absolute configuration of a
substituent (S) at the asymmetric centre is specified by
writing the projection formula with the longest carbon
chain vertical and lowest (lower) number of carbon at the
top.
The D-configuration is then the one that has the
substituent (S) on the bond extending to the “right” of
the asymmetric carbon, wheres the L-configuration has
the substituent (S) on the “left”.

This system consists of the following two steps:
Step-1):
The four atoms or group of atoms attached to the asymmetric or
chiral carbon atom are assigned a sequence of priority (1, 2, 3 or 4)
according to the following set of sequence rules:
101. www.themegallery.com
Sequence rules needed to
Assign Priority:
Rule-1):
If the four atoms, directly attached to the asymmetric
carbon atom, are all different, the priority (1, 2, 3 or 4)
depends on their atomic number. The atom of higher
atomic number gets the highest priority.

103. www.themegallery.com Rule-2):
Rule-2): If two or more isotopes are
bonded (attached) to an asymmetric
carbon atom, assign priorities in order
of decreasing mass number.
For example:
S.No. Isotope Mass No. (A) Priority
1. T (Tritium) 3 ( 1 Proton + 2 Neutrons) First (1)

Rule-3): If two or more groups attached to
the asymmetric carbon atom, have their first
atoms identical (same); then the priority order
depend upon the atomic number of the second
atom, and if the second atom is also identical;
then atomic number of the third atom along
the same chain determines the priority.
For example:
S.No. Group Priority
1. CH3CH2CH2- First (1)

groups have the same substituent of
higher atomic number; then the group
with more number of substituent gets
the higher priority.
For example:
–CH2Cl & –CHCl2
Thus, –CHCl2 has higher priority than –CH2Cl

Decreasing order of their priority (1→2→3),
our eye moves (travel) in a clockwise
direction, then the configuration is specified
as “R” [Rectus (Latin word) meaning right

on the other hand, if our eye moves in the
anticlockwise direction, the configuration is
specified as “S” (Sinister meaning left handed,

115. Resolution of racemic mixture by Chemical Method:
In chemical method, racemic mixture is treated with
optically active acid or base; to form mixture of
diastereoisomeric salts.
Due to difference in their solubilities, two salts from the
mixture can be separated by means of Fractional
Crystallization.
These salts are then treated with mineral (inorganic)
acid or alkalies to get individual enantiomers (original
active compounds, i.e., (+) & (-) form)

Q.1) Explain why maleic acid easily forms an anhydride than
fumaric acid. (W-11, 4 Mark)
Note that:
Maleic acid readily forms cyclic anhydride whereas fumaric acid
does not.
Obviously maleic acid must be cis form and fumaric acid trans form.
125. GEOMETRICAL ISOMERISM
RESTRICTED ROTATION OF C=C BONDS
C=C bonds have restricted rotation so the groups on either end of the bond are
‘frozen’ in one position; it isn’t easy to flip between the two.
This produces two possibilities. The two structures cannot interchange easily
so the atoms in the two molecules occupy different positions in space.

Baeyer’s Strain theory:
A theory which explains specific behavior
of chemical compounds associated with
bond angle strain.
The four valencies of carbon are
arranged symmetrically by forming the
angles of 109028’.
Adolf Von Baeyer was honored with a
Nobel Prize for the discovery of the strain
theory in 1905.
Q.1) On the basis of Baeyer’s strain theory, calculate angle strain in cyclohexane and explain their
relative stability. (W-11, 4 Mark)
Q.2) Discuss the Baeyer’s strain theory with its limitations. (W-14, 5 Mark)

Stability of Cycloalkanes:
Ring Strain
Rings larger than 3 atoms are not flat
Cyclic molecules can assume nonplanar
conformations to minimize angle strain and
torsional strain by ring-puckering
Larger rings have many more possible
conformations than smaller rings and are more
difficult to analyze

Cyclohexane
(C6H12)
½ (109.280 - 1200) - 5.16
The + sign indicates that the C-C bonds have to be compressed to satisfy the
geometry of the ring.
The – sign indicates that the C-C bonds have to be widened to satisfy the geometry of
the ring.
139. LOGO
Stability of cycloalkanes:
In the examples given above, the deviation from
the normal tetrahedral angle is maximum in the
case of cyclopropane.
Thus, according to the Baeyer Strain Theory,
cyclopropane should be a highly strained
molecule and consequently most unstable.
The cyclopropane ring should, therefore, be
expected to open up on the slightest provocation
and thus releasing the strain within it.
This is actually so, Cyclopropane is known to
undergo ring opening reactions with Br2, HBr,
and H2 (in presence of Ni-catalyst); to form
open chain addition compounds.
