1. Chirality & Stereochemistry
An object is achiral (not chiral) if the object and its mirror image are identical

66% of all drugs in development are chiral, 51% are being studied as a single enantiomer
Of the $475 billion in world-wide sales of formulated pharmaceutical products in 2008, $205 billion was attributable to single enantiomer drugs

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
2A.Constitutional Isomers

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
![Page 15: Created by Professor William Tam & Dr. Phillis Chang Chapter 5 Stereochemistry Chiral Molecules Copyright © 2014 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649e875503460f94b8b674/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

2C. Enantiomers & Diastereomers Stereoisomers can be subdivided
into two general categories:enantiomers & diasteromers●Enantiomers – stereoisomers
whose molecules are nonsuperimposable mirror images of each other
●Diastereomers – stereoisomers whose molecules are not mirror images of each other
![Page 16: Created by Professor William Tam & Dr. Phillis Chang Chapter 5 Stereochemistry Chiral Molecules Copyright © 2014 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649e875503460f94b8b674/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

3. Enantiomers and Chiral Molecules
Enantiomers occur only with compounds whose molecules are chiral
A chiral molecule is one that is NOT superimposable 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
![Page 19: Created by Professor William Tam & Dr. Phillis Chang Chapter 5 Stereochemistry Chiral Molecules Copyright © 2014 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649e875503460f94b8b674/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

4. Molecules Having One ChiralityCenter Are Chiral
A chirality center is a tetrahedral carbon atom that is bonded to four different groups
A molecule that contains one chirality center is chiral and can exist as a pair of enantiomers
![Page 21: Created by Professor William Tam & Dr. Phillis Chang Chapter 5 Stereochemistry Chiral Molecules Copyright © 2014 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649e875503460f94b8b674/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
© 2014 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
The presence of a single chirality center in a molecule guarantees that the molecule is chiral and that enantiomeric forms are possible
An important property of enantiomers with a single chirality center is that interchanging any two groups at the chirality center converts one enantiomer into the other
![Page 22: Created by Professor William Tam & Dr. Phillis Chang Chapter 5 Stereochemistry Chiral Molecules Copyright © 2014 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649e875503460f94b8b674/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
© 2014 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
Any atom at which an interchange of groups produces a stereoisomer is called a stereogenic center (if the atom is a carbon atom it is usually called a stereogenic carbon)
If all of the tetrahedral atoms in a molecule have two or more groups attached that are the same, the molecule does not have a chirality center. The molecule is superimposable on its mirror image and is achiral
![Page 23: Created by Professor William Tam & Dr. Phillis Chang Chapter 5 Stereochemistry Chiral Molecules Copyright © 2014 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649e875503460f94b8b674/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

5. More about the BiologicalImportance of Chirality
![Page 28: Created by Professor William Tam & Dr. Phillis Chang Chapter 5 Stereochemistry Chiral Molecules Copyright © 2014 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649e875503460f94b8b674/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

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
![Page 29: Created by Professor William Tam & Dr. Phillis Chang Chapter 5 Stereochemistry Chiral Molecules Copyright © 2014 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649e875503460f94b8b674/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

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
![Page 31: Created by Professor William Tam & Dr. Phillis Chang Chapter 5 Stereochemistry Chiral Molecules Copyright © 2014 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649e875503460f94b8b674/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

7. Naming Enantiomers:The 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
![Page 34: Created by Professor William Tam & Dr. Phillis Chang Chapter 5 Stereochemistry Chiral Molecules Copyright © 2014 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649e875503460f94b8b674/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
© 2014 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
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.
![Page 35: Created by Professor William Tam & Dr. Phillis Chang Chapter 5 Stereochemistry Chiral Molecules Copyright © 2014 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649e875503460f94b8b674/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
© 2014 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
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)

properties (except reaction/interactions with chiral substances)
●Show different behavior only when they interact with other chiral substances
●Rotate plane-polarized light in opposite direction

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)

10B. Stereoselective Syntheses Stereoselective reactions are
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

Compounds with two stereocenters do not always have four stereoisomers (22 = 4) since some molecules are achiral (not chiral), even though they contain stereocenters
For example, 2,3-dichlorobutane has two stereocenters, but only has 3 stereoisomers (not 4)

15.Relating Configurations throughReactions in Which No Bonds tothe Chirality Center Are Broken
A reaction is said to proceed with retention of configuration at a chirality center if no bonds to the chirality center are broken. This is true even if the R,S designation for the chirality center changes because the relative priorities of groups around it changes as a result of the reaction
