  10. Fischer Projections CO2H recall for Fischer projection: horizontal bonds point toward you; vertical bonds point away staggered conformation does not have correct orientation of bonds for Fischer projection CH3

  11. Fischer projections transform molecule to eclipsed conformation in order to construct Fischer projection

  12. CO2H OH H H OH CH3 Fischer projections

  13. Erythro and Threo stereochemical prefixes used to specify relative configuration in molecules with two chiral carbons easiest to apply using Fischer projections orientation: vertical carbon chain

  14. CO2H OH H H OH CH3 Erythro when carbon chain is vertical, same (or analogous) substituents on same side of Fischer projection CO2H H HO HO H CH3 –9.5° +9.5°

  15. CO2H CO2H OH H H HO HO H OH H CH3 CH3 Threo when carbon chain is vertical, same (or analogous) substituents on opposite sides of Fischer projection +17.8° –17.8°

  17. Achiral MoleculeswithTwo Chiral Centers It is possible for a molecule to have chiral carbons yet be achiral.

  18. Any molecule with a plane of symmetryor a center of symmetry must be achiral. Symmetry Tests for Chirality

  19. Plane of symmetry A plane of symmetry bisects a molecule into two mirror image halves. Chlorodifluoromethane has a plane of symmetry.

  20. Plane of symmetry A plane of symmetry bisects a molecule into two mirror image halves. Chlorodifluoromethane has a plane of symmetry.

  21. Plane of symmetry A plane of symmetry bisects a molecule into two mirror image halves.1-Bromo-1-chloro-2-fluoroethene has a planeof symmetry.

  22. Plane of symmetry A plane of symmetry bisects a molecule into two mirror image halves.1-Bromo-1-chloro-2-fluoroethene has a planeof symmetry.

  23. Center of symmetry A point in the center of themolecule is a center of symmetry if a line drawn from it to some element, when extended an equal distance in the opposite direction, encounters an identical element.

  24. Center of symmetry A point in the center of themolecule is a center of symmetry if a line drawn from it to any element, when extended an equal distance in the opposite direction, encounters an identical element.

  32. CH3 OH H OH H CH3 Three stereoisomers of 2,3-butanediol CH3 therefore, this structure and its mirror image are the same it is called a meso form a meso form is an achiral molecule that has chiral carbons H HO H HO CH3 2R,3S achiral

  38. 1,3-Disubstituted Cylcopentanes

  39. plane of symmetry plane of symmetry As long as any one conformer of a compound has a plane of symmetry, the compound will be achiral

  44. How many stereoisomers? maximum number of stereoisomers = 2n where n = number of structural units capable of stereochemical variation structural units include chiral carbons and cis and/or trans double bonds number is reduced to less than 2n if meso forms are possible
