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
