ChiralityChirality“Handedness”: right glove doesn’t fit the left
hand.Mirror-image object is different from the
original object

How about molecules?How about molecules?Chemical substances can be handedHanded substances are said to be chiralMolecules, that are chiral are
nonsuperimposable on their mirror image

Chirality in Molecules• The cis isomer is achiral.• The trans isomer is chiral.• Enantiomers: nonsuperimposable mirror images,
different molecules.• One enantiomeric form of limonene smells like
oranges, while its mirror image smells like lemons.• The one enantiomer of carvone is the essence of
caraway, and the other, the essence of spearmint.• Most molecules in the plant and animal world are
chiral and usually only one form of then enantiomer is found.
• Nineteen of the twenty known amino acids are chiral, and all of them are classified as left handed.

StereocentersAny atom at which the exchange of two
groups yields a stereoisomer.Examples:
Asymmetric carbonsDouble-bonded carbons in cis-trans isomers

Mirror Planes of Symmetry If two groups are the same, carbon is
achiral. (animation) A molecule with an internal mirror
plane cannot be chiral.*
Caution! If there is no plane of symmetry, molecule may be chiral or achiral. See if mirror image can be superimposed.
![Page 11: Stereochemistry](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58f013741a28ab6e2c8b45b5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Absolute Configuration Called the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog
convention Different molecules (enantiomers) must
have different • names. Usually only one enantiomer will be
biologically active. Configuration around the chiral carbon is
specified with (R) and (S).
![Page 12: Stereochemistry](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58f013741a28ab6e2c8b45b5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Cahn-Ingold-Prelog RulesAssign a priority number to each group attached
to• the chiral carbon. Atom with highest atomic number assigned the• highest priority #1. In case of ties, look at the next atoms along the• chain. Double and triple bonds are treated like bonds
to• duplicate atoms.
![Page 13: Stereochemistry](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58f013741a28ab6e2c8b45b5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Assign (R) or (S)Working in 3D, rotate molecule so that
lowest priority group is in back.Draw an arrow from highest to lowest
priority group.Clockwise = (R), Counterclockwise = (S)

Plane-Polarized Light• Polarizing filter –
calcite crystals or plastic sheet.
• When two filters are used, the amount of light transmitted depends on the angle of the axes.
![Page 16: Stereochemistry](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58f013741a28ab6e2c8b45b5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
PolarimetryUse monochromatic light, usually sodium DMovable polarizing filter to measure angleClockwise = dextrorotatory = d or (+)Counterclockwise = levorotatory = l or (-)Not related to (R) and (S)

Racemic MixturesEqual quantities of d- and l- enantiomers a
50/50 mixture.Notation: (d,l) or ()No optical activity.The mixture may have different b.p. and
m.p. from the enantiomers!
![Page 19: Stereochemistry](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58f013741a28ab6e2c8b45b5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Fischer ProjectionsFlat drawing that represents a 3D molecule.A chiral carbon is at the intersection of
horizontal and vertical lines.Horizontal lines are forward, out-of-plane.Vertical lines are behind the plane.
![Page 20: Stereochemistry](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58f013741a28ab6e2c8b45b5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Fischer Rules• Carbon chain is on the vertical line.• Horizontal bonds pointing up with respect
to the plane of the paper.• Vertical bonds pointing down with respect
to the plane of the paper.• Highest oxidized carbon at top.• Rotation of 180 in plane doesn’t change
molecule.• Do not rotate 90!• Do not turn over out of plane!

Fischer (R) and (S)Lowest priority (usually H) comes forward,
so assignment rules are backwards!Clockwise 1-2-3 is (S) and counterclockwise
1-2-3 is (R).Example:

Two or More Chiral Carbons• Enantiomer? Diastereomer? Meso? Assign
(R) or (S) to each chiral carbon.• Enantiomers have opposite configurations
at each corresponding chiral carbon.• Diastereomers have some matching, some
opposite configurations.• Meso compounds have internal mirror
plane.• Maximum number is 2n, where n = the
number of chiral carbons.

Fischer-Rosanoff Convention• Before 1951, only relative configurations could be
known.• Sugars and amino acids with same relative
configuration as (+)-glyceraldehyde were assigned D and same as (-)-glyceraldehyde were assigned L.
• With X-ray crystallography, we now know absolute configurations: D is (R) and L is (S).
• No relationship to dextro- or levorotatory, meaning that some D enantiomers are (R) and some are (S).
• Anyone who can look at a structure and determine which way it will rotate polarized light receives an automatic Noble Prize! There is a lot we do not know!

Properties of DiastereomersDiastereomers have different physical
properties: m.p., b.p.They can be separated easily.Enantiomers differ only in reaction with
other chiral molecules and the direction in which polarized light is rotated.
Enantiomers are difficult to separate

Resolution of EnantiomersPasteur was the first to resolve an
enatiomeric mixture, using a magnifying glass and tweezers.
Animals can consume a racemate and metabolize on of the tow enantiomers, while the other is recovered in their waste products.
