Stereochemistry Optical isomerism Absolute Configuration ( AC ) Is the actual spatial arrangement of atoms or groups around a chiral carbon In 1891 German chemist [ Emil Fisher ] introduce formula showing the spatial arrangement ………
configuration– the arrangement in space of the four different groups about a chiral center. How do we show configurations? “wedge” formulas Fischer projections “cross structures” use only for chiral centers!
Rules for Fischer projections • Arrange the molecule so that horizontal bonds at chiral carbon point toward you and vertical bonds point away from you.
H • Br • Cl • F • Projection of molecule on page is a cross. When represented this way it is understood that horizontal bonds project outward, vertical bonds are back.
Stereochemistry Optical isomerism (±)- Ethanolamine CH3CH(OH)NH2 has one chiral carbon, so 2- enantiomers H H H2N OH H2N OH CH3 CH3 Mirror Fischer projection formula
Determination of ( AC ) by ( R ) and ( S ) system Groups are assigned a priority ranking using the same set of rules as are used in ( E ) and ( Z ) system CH3CH(OH)NH2 1. Draw Fischer Projection formula H OH H2N CH3
Determination of ( AC ) by ( R ) and ( S ) system Groups are assigned a priority ranking using the same set of rules as are used in ( E ) and ( Z ) system CH3CH(OH)NH2 2. Rank the substitution according to the priority order H OH > NH2 > CH3 > H OH H2N 1 2 3 CH3
Determination of ( AC ) by ( R ) and ( S ) system 3. The group (atom) with lowest priority [H] should be away from the observer , if not do an even number of changes to get H away from the observer H H2N H2N 1 OH H2N H OH CH3 OH 2 CH3 H CH3
Determination of ( AC ) by ( R ) and ( S ) system 4. Draw an arrow from group with highest priority ( OH ) to second highest priority ( NH2 ) . if the arrow is …… a- clockwise, the configuration is R b- anti-clockwise, the configuration S NH2 HO CH3 (R)-ethanolamine (+)- ethanolamine H
Switching Substituents on a Fischer Projection • Any single (odd #) exchange of 2 substituents gives the other enantiomer • Any two (even #) of exchanges gives the same enantiomer • R • S R

Meso compounds • In the simplest case, they are compounds which have internal plan of symmetry. • EXAMPLE: • Tartaric acid
Stereochemistry Optical isomerism COOHCH(OH)CH(OH)COOH tartaric acid Meso-compound are : - superimposable mirror images - only 3 stereoisomers - optically inactive
A racemic mixture dose not rotate the plane ofpolarization of plane-polarized light because therotation by each enantiomer is cancelledby the equal and opposite rotation by the other. • A solution of either a racemic mixture or ofachiral 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.
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.
Stereochemistry Resolution of racemic mixture 1- treat the mixture with microorganism 2- using chiral reagent ( R) RCOOH ( R) RCOO- (S) R’NH3+ + ( S) R’NH2 ( S) RCOOH ( S) RCOO- (S) R’NH3+
Resolution of Enantiomers React a racemic mixture with a chiral compound to form diastereomers, which can be separated. =>
Examine the following structural formulas and select those that are chiral.
