Have the same bonding sequence but differ in orientation of their atoms in space. |
Stereoisomers |
|
Any object that can not be superposed on its mirror image. |
Chiral |
|
Any object that can be superposed on its mirror image. |
Achiral |
|
A pair of stereoisomers that cannot be superposed on each other. |
Enantiomers |
|
Any carbon in a structure that has 4 different groups attached to it. |
Chiral Carbon |
|
Other names for chiral carbon. |
Chiral Center and stereogenic center |
|
Enantiomers have all the same chemical properties except for two. What are the two differences? |
Interaction with other chiral moleculesInteraction with the plane of polarized light |
|
Clockwise alpha value. |
Positive
|
|
Counter-clockwise alpha value. |
Negative |
|
The rotation reported for chiral molecules. (alpha or α). |
Specific rotation |
|
The configuration that represents a clockwise specific rotation. |
R |
|
The configuration that represents a counter-clockwise specific rotation. |
S |
|
50:50 mixture of R and S. This solution is optically inactive and alpha = 0. The R and S cancel each other out. |
Recemic Mixture |
|
A term used to describe an enantiomer that rotates plane of polarized light clockwise. Alpha is positive, R configuration. |
Dextrorotatory |
|
A term used to describe an enantiomer that rotates plane of polarized light counter-clockwise. Alpha is negative, S configuration. |
Levorotatory |
|
A compound with chiral carbons that is optically inactive.The top portion of the molecule is a mirror image of the bottom. |
Meso-compound |
|
A pair of stereoisomers that are not enantiomers. They have different physical and chemical properties. |
Diastereomers |
|
The maximum number of stereoisomers in a chiral compound when n is the number of chiral carbons. |
2ⁿ |
|
During which substitution reaction will inversion take place? (R will switch to S configuration) |
SN² |
|
Substrate reactivity of SN² reaction. |
Methyl > 1⁰ > 2⁰ |
