Isomerism (stereoisomerism ) A phenomenon resulting from molecules having the same molecular formula but different arrangement In space
Isomerism • Structural Isomerism 1. Chain isomerism 2. Position isomerism 3. Functional isomerism • Stereoisomerism • Optical active isomers. • Geometrical isomers. • Conformational isomers.
Type of Isomerism 1- Structural – The resulting isomerism are known as Structural isomers 2- Geometrical – The resulting isomerism are known as Diastereoisomers 3- Optical – The resulting isomerism are known as Enantiomers
Stereochemistry Optical isomerism An isomerism resulting from ability of certain molecules to rotate plane of polarized light -- the light is rotated either to the right or left right ( clockwise ) + d ( dexter ) dextro left ( anticlockwise ) - l ( laevous ) levo
Optical Isomerism: • Any material that rotates the plane of polarized light is said to be optically active. • Optically active compound is nonsuperimposable on its mirror image. • If a molecule is superimposable on its mirror image, the compound does not rotate the plane polarized light; it is optically inactive. • Example: • Alanine (amino acid)
The Two Optical Isomers of Alanine (space-filling models)
For example, most amino acids (and so proteins) are chiral, along with many other molecules. • In nature, only one optical isomer occurs (e.g. all natural amino acids are rotate polarised light to the left). • Many natural molecules are chiral and most natural reactions are affected by optical isomerism.
Ball-and-stick modelsandspace-filling modelsare 3D or spatialmolecular models.
What is chirality? • Chirality (cheir, Greek for hand). • The property of nonsuperimposability of an object on its mirror image is called chirality. • If a molecule is not superimposable on its mirror image, it is chiral. If it is superimposable on its mirror image, it is achiral.
Chirality • Carbons with four different groups attached to them are handed, or chiral. • Optical isomers or stereoisomers • If one stereoisomer is “right-handed,” its enantiomer is “left-handed.”
CHIRAL COMPOUNDS • Compounds which contain chiral carbon. • Chiral carbon: • It is an sp3-hybridized carbon atom with four different groups attached to it. • Chiral compound exists in a pair of enantiomers.
Chirality • Many pharmaceuticals are chiral. • Often only one enantiomer is clinically active. S-ibuprofen

SAMPLE EXERCISE PRACTICE EXERCISE How many chiral carbon atoms are there in the open-chain form of fructose Answer: three
Solve: The carbon atoms numbered 2, 3, 4, and 5 each have four different groups attached to them, as indicated here: PRACTICE EXERCISE How many chiral carbon atoms are there in the open-chain form of glucose
Enantiomers have identical physical and chemical properties except in two important respects: • They rotate the plane polarized light in opposite directions, however in equal amounts. • The isomer that rotates the plane to the left (anticlockwise) is called the levo isomer and is designated (-) • While the one that rotates the plane to the right (clockwise) is called the dextro isomer and designated (+).
2. They react at different rates with other chiral compounds. • This is the reason that many compounds are biologically active while their enantiomers are not. • They react at the same rates with achiral compounds.
A racemic mixture dose not rotate the plane of • polarization of plane-polarized light because the • rotation by each enantiomer is cancelled • by the equal and opposite rotation by the other. • A solution of either a racemic mixture or of • achiral compound said to be optically inactive
Many drugs are optically active, with one enantiomer only having the beneficial effect. • In the case of some drugs, the other enantiomer can even be harmful, e.g. thalidomide.
In the 1960’s thalidomide was given to pregnant women to reduce the effects of morning sickness. • This led to many disabilities in babies and early deaths in many cases.
S thalidomide (effective drug) The body racemises each enantiomer, so even pure S is dangerous as it converts to R in the body. R thalidomide (dangerous drug)
Thalidomide was banned worldwide when the effects were discovered. • However, it is starting to be used again to treat leprosy and HIV. • Its use is restricted though and patients have to have a pregnancy test first (women!) and use two forms of contraception (if sexually active).
S carvone (caraway seed) R carvone (spearmint) Caraway Seed has a warm, pungent, slightly bitter flavour with aniseed overtones.
S limonene (lemons) R limonene (oranges)
