Stereochemistry II Reading: Wade Chapter 5, Sections 5-8- 5-16 Study Stereochemistry II Reading: Wade chapter 5, sections 5-8- 5-16 Study Problems: 5-28, 5-29, 5-30, 5-31, 5-35 Key Concepts and Skills: • Draw all stereoisomers of a given structure. • Identify enantiomers, diastereomers, and meso compounds; draw correct Fischer projections of asymmetric carbon atoms. • Explain how the physical properties differ for different types of stereoisomers, and suggest how to separate different types of stereoisomers Lecture Topics: I. Conformational isomerism Consider cis-1,2-dichlorocyclohexane; each chair conformation is chiral, but a ring flip will convert one stereoisomer to its mirror image. Since chair-chair interconversions are rapid at room temperature. A molecule cannot be optically active if its chiral conformations are in rapid equilibrium with their mirror images. different consider only: Cl Cl Cl Cl σ mirror image non-superimposable on original molecule ring flip Cl Cl Cl identical to mirror image: Cl Cl Cl A correct prediction about whether a molecule is chiral or achiral can be made by analyzing the most symmetrical conformation (in the case of a cyclic molecule, it is the “flat” conformation) Note that trans 1,2-dibromo cyclohexane has chiral chair forms, the mirror images of which cannot be obtained by a ring flip: different consider only: Cl Cl Cl Cl mirror image non-superimposable on original molecule ring flip Cl Cl Cl Cl different from Cl chiral Cl •Some molecules have no asymmetric carbon atoms (no centers of chirality) yet they are chiral. This is due to locked conformations of a molecule which are chiral and cannot interconvert because of steric hindrance: “axial chirality” •An example is 2,2,2,2’-substituted biphenyls, in which the most symmetrical “flat” conformation cannot be obtained because of a very large degree of steric hindrance to rotation about the central C-C bond: a very high energy is required to rotate past the point of planarity. The molecular conformations are thus locked with the two rings perpendicular to each other. The two conformations are enantiomeric; their mirror images cannot be superimposed. CH3 I Very large degree of steric hindrance in most symmetrical planar conformation I H3C CH3 H3C I I H3C CH3 I I locked conformation non interconvertible conformations ring planes are perpendicular chiral conformations •Allene is a molecule with one sp-hybridized carbon and two sp2-hybridize carbon atoms. Because of the perpendicular p-orbitals on the central sp-hybridized carbon which overlap to form the pi orbitals, the pi orbitals are also perpendicular, and thus the end groups on the molecule are perpendicular. Substituted allenes are thus chiral molecules with non-superimposable mirror images: mirror plane CH H3C CH3 H3C 3 C C H H H H different compounds enantiomers II. Fischer Projections Fischer Projections are a shorthand method of drawing stereoisomers to facilitate their comparison when there are multiple asymmetric carbon atoms within a molecule. • Fischer projections are drawn in cross form with the horizontal bonds coming toward the viewer and the vertical bonds going away from the viewer. For S-lactic acid: COOH COOH COOH HO H HO H CH3 HO H CH3 CH3 Fischer projection •Fischer projections that differ by 180° are the same molecule. A 90° rotation, however, is not allowed. Fisher projections also my not be flipped over: they must be kept in-plane. 180° COOH COOH CH3 CH3 HO H HO H H OH H OH in-plane COOH CH3 CH3 COOH same molecule 90° COOH COOH OH OH H C COOH HO H HO H 3 H3C COOH in-plane H CH3 CH3 H non-superimposable enantiomers • A carbon chain must be drawn along the vertical line of the projection and given IUPAC numbering from top to bottom • When looking at the mirror image of a Fischer projection, any groups that fail to superimpose after a 180° turn indicates chirality and the two molecules are enantiomers. 1 180° CH OH CH OH CH3 CH2OH 2 2 2 H OH HO H H OH CH3 H in-plane OH 3 CH3 CH3 CH2OH non-superimposable: enantiomers ALSO: CH3 CH 3 180° CH3 H Br Br H Br H Br H H Br in-plane H Br CH3 CH 3 CH3 not the same molecule! enantiomers CH3 CH3 CH3 180° H Br Br H H Br H Br Br H in-plane H Br CH3 CH3 CH3 SAME MOLECULES: ACHIRAL Assigning R and S configurations to Fischer Projections • Same rules apply, but if the low priority group (H) is projecting forward (on a horizontal bond), a counterclockwise rotation indicates R configuration and a clockwise rotation indicates S configuration; if the low priority group is projecting backward (on a vertical bond) the regular Cahn-Ingold Prelog rule applies: 2 2 CHO CHO CHO H OH 1 H OH 3 H CH2OH CH OH HO CH2OH 2 1 3 projecting forward counterclockwise: clockwise: R R 3 3 CH2OH CH OH 2 CH2OH H C 1 2 Cl Br 1 Cl Br 3 Br Cl CH 3 CH3 2 clockwise R clockwise: R projecting backward III. Diastereomers Diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not mirror images; they are geometric isomers (like cis-trans isomers about a double bond) and usually compounds containing at least two centers of chirality. Examples: CH3 CH3 S S H Br H Br H H3C H H R S H Cl Cl H H3C H H3C CH3 CH3 CH3 Diastereomers Diastereomers Stereoisomers but not enantiomers Relationships: enantiomers enantiomers CH CH3 3 CH3 CH3 R S S R H Br Br H H Br Br H R S S R H Cl Cl H Cl H H Cl CH CH3 3 CH3 CH3 2S, 3R 2R, 3S 2S, 3S 2R, 3R Diastereomers Diastereomers Diastereomers Diastereomers • If the number of stereogenic carbon atoms in a molecule is n, there are a maximum of 2n possible stereoisomers. Thus, for two stereogenic carbon atoms, there are a maximum of 22 or 4 possible stereoisomers. There are many cases where less than the maximum number of stereoisomers may be found, especially in symmetrical molecules. Example: Same molecule enantiomers CH CH3 3 CH3 CH3 S R H Br Br H H Br Br H σ S R H Br Br H Br H H Br CH CH3 3 CH3 CH3 2S, 3S 2R, 3R "meso-diastereomer" (±)-diastereomers 2-stereogenic carbon atoms; a total of 3 stereoisomers for 2,3-dibromobutane! •A meso compound is one that is achiral despite having centers of chirality: it usually has some element of symmetry, like an internal mirror plane IV. Absolute and Relative Configuration Absolute configuration is the detailed stereochemical picture of a molecule, specifying how the atoms are arranged in space through designating R or S configurations at each chirality center. Relative configuration is the experimentally determined relationship between the configuration of two molecules or two stereogenic carbon atoms within a molecule, even though we may not know the absolute configuration of either. Example: O H3C trans 2,4-dimethylcyclohexanone relative configuration: trans configuration of two methyl groups determined by NMR CH3 however, we don't know absolute stereochemistry: O O S H3C R H3C or S R CH3 CH3 V. Physical Properties of diastereomers •Diastereomers, unlike enantiomers, have different physical properties: melting points, boiling points, etc. Diastereomers can thus be separated by ordinary means: chromatography, distillation, crystallization, etc. •Enantiomers, which are mirror-image molecules, have virtually identical physical properties and are thus very difficult to separate.. •Pure enantiomers of optically active compounds are often obtained by isolation from natural sources. Examples: carbohydrates (D-(+)-glucose) and amino acids (L-(+)- alanine) •Many chemical reactions involve achiral reagents and thus can yield racemic mixtures as products. How can one separate (resolve) enantiomers of a given molecule? Resolution of Enantiomers •Column Chromatography can be employed using a chiral stationary phase as an adsobent: different enantiomers form diastereomeric complexes with the chiral column packing and move through the column at different rates. In this way separation can be achieved without chemical modification of a racemic mixture. •A racemic mixture can also be resolved by reacting the mixture of enantiomers with a chiral resolving agent, which generates diasteromers that are easily separated. The pure enantiomers can then be obtained by hydrolysis of the respective diastereomers. We illustrate this process for the formation of diastereomeric esters by reaction of a racemic diacid with a chiral alcohol: separable inseparable Diastereomers Racemic mixture Resolving agent CH3 O COOH C O S CH3 H+ H Br H Br + 2 S HO Br H Br H -H2O CH3 COOH S-phenyl ethanol C O O COOH (S,S,S,S) CH R 3 CH3 Br H O + 2 + R HO H C O H Br H Br COOH -H2O Br H S-phenyl ethanol CH3 C O O hydrolysis: (S,R,R,S) CH3 O C O COOH + H Br H S H Br Br H CH3 S +H2O Br H C O O COOH pure enantiomer (S,S,S,S) Additional Problems for practice: 1.)

  • Stereochemistry
    Stereochemistry For Cheminformatics Introduction The branch of chemistry treating of the space relations of atoms in molecules. Definition • The branch of chemistry that deals with spatial arrangements of atoms in molecules and the effects of these arrangements on the chemical and physical properties of substances. • The study of the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms or groups within molecules and the properties which follow from such arrangement. The importance of stereochemistry • The importance of stereochemistry in drug action is gaining greater attention in medical practice, and a basic knowledge of the subject will be necessary for clinicians to make informed decisions regarding the use of single-enantiomer drugs. Many of the drugs currently used in psychiatric practice are mixtures of enantiomers. For some therapeutics, single-enantiomer formulations can provide greater selectivities for their biological targets, improved therapeutic indices, and/or better pharmacokinetics than a mixture of enantiomers. Importance of stereochemistry • Many biologically active synthetic drugs contain chiral centers, although they are used as racemic mixtures. Enantiomers are hard to distinguish in the chemical laboratory but are readily discriminated in the body and differ in their biological activities and disposition. The pharmacokinetic profiles of enantiomers can be variable, especially for drugs with a first-pass effect and enantioselective pharmacokinetic monitoring should be carried out. Ultimately, whether to exploit a racemate or a single enantiomer in therapy is a multi-faceted decision to which drug disposition data have important contributions to make. Stereoisomers and stereoisomerism • Molecules that have identical molecular structures but differ in the relative spatial arrangement of component parts are stereoisomers.

Chiral-General Definition-Any object that is not superimposable on its mirror image. Your hands are chiral, that is why you need two different leather gloves, one that only fits your right hand, and one that only fits your left hand. If your hands were superimposable, then you would only need one kind of glove and it would fit both hands. Chiral-Chemistry Definition; Atom-Any tetrahedral carbon atom that has four different substituents is a chiral center. Any tetrahedral carbon atom that has four different substituents is a chiral center (it was worth repeating). This is a simple consequence of geometry; there are two different ways to place four different substituents in a tetrahedral arrangement.
