  • Stereochemistry of Bruice's Organic Chemistry Before Embarking on Comprehending This Summary
    Enantioselective synthesis It helps if you review the concepts in Chapter 5: Stereochemistry of Bruice's Organic Chemistry before embarking on comprehending this summary Most of the molecules on earth are chiral, such as amino acids and carbohydrates. Enantioselective synthesis is an important means by which enantiopure chiral molecules may be obtained for study and medicine. The study of enantioselective synthesis has evolved from issues of diastereoselectivity, through auxiliary-based methods for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure compounds (diastereoselectivity followed by separation and auxiliary cleavage), to asymmetric catalysis. In the latter technology, enantiomers are the products, and highly selective reactions allow preparation - in a single step - of chiral substances in high enantiomeric excess (ee) for many reaction types. Enantioselective synthesis, also known as asymmetric synthesis, is organic synthesis that introduces one or more new and desired elements of chirality. This methodology is important in the field of pharmaceuticals because the different enantiomers or diastereomers of a molecule often have different biological activity. See examples from Chapter 5 of Bruice's Organic Chemistry. Methodologies of Asymmetric Synthesis Chiral pool synthesis Chiral pool synthesis is the easiest approach: A chiral starting material is manipulated through successive reactions using achiral reagents that retain its chirality to obtain the desired target molecule. This is especially attractive for target molecules having the similar chirality to a relatively inexpensive naturally occurring building-block such as a sugar or amino acid. However, the number of possible reactions the molecule can undergo is restricted, and lengthy synthetic routes may be required. Also, this approach requires a stoichiometric amount of the enantiopure starting material, which may be rather expensive if not occurring in nature, whereas chiral catalysis requires only a catalytic amount of chiral material.

  • Building Block Oriented Synthesis Spring 2019 Dr
    CHEMISTRY 4000 Topic #4: Building Block Oriented Synthesis Spring 2019 Dr. Susan Findlay When to Choose a Building Block Approach While all retrosynthetic analyses must end with identification of starting materials that are readily available (commercially available or readily prepared from commercially available compounds), occasionally the structure of the synthetic target will immediately suggest what those starting materials should be. A building block oriented approach to retrosynthesis usually arises in one of a few circumstances: The target contains repeating units that are recognizably derived from readily available materials The target contains a number of double bonds whose configuration can be mapped to one or more readily available material(s) The target contains a number of chirality centers whose configuration can be mapped to one or more readily available material(s) 2 Oligomers, Polymers and Dendrimers Clearly, if the target is (or contains) a short sequence of monosaccharides, amino acids or nucleotides, a building block approach to synthesis will be appropriate. In fact, there are “carbohydrate synthesizers”, “peptide synthesizers” and PCR machines that will do much of the work for you. The only thing you would need to provide would be the appropriate monomers (and the understanding of the relevant biochemistry to choose the right target in the first place!). In fairness, if an unnatural monosaccharide, amino acid or nucleotide is desired as one of the monomers, its synthesis can be a substantial challenge in-and-of itself. It is likely that you might also take a building block oriented approach to its retrosynthesis, attempting to identify an appropriate starting material from the natural monosaccharides, amino acids or nucleotides.

  • Review of Stereochemistry
    Review of Stereochemistry Review of Stereochemistry Stereoisomers are compounds made up of the same atoms connected by the same sequence of bonds, but having different three dimensional structures. Major kinds of stereoisomers are : Enantiomers (mirror image stereoisomers) Other Stereoisomers (cis-trans isomers, diastereomers etc.) Enantiomers and Chirality A chiral object is not superimposible on its mirror image. Examples include hands, screws, propellers, and keys Acknowledgements: Dr. Chris Welch Ted Szczerba Scott Perrin 1 Review of Stereochemistry An Achiral object is superimposible on its mirror image. Example include ball, buckets, nails, and T-shirts (no pockets). Achiral objects possess either a plane, center, or alternating axis of symmetry. References: 1). J.

Gordon & Breach, New York, 1991 A mixture containing predominantly one enantiomer is termed: Enantiomerically Enriched, or Enantioenriched. 2 Review of Stereochemistry The two forms of a chiral object are known as Enantiomers Unlike other stereoisomers, enantiomers have identical physical prop- erties and consequently are difficult to separate and quantitate. A process wherein enantiomers are separated is called a Resolution. A collection containing equal amounts of the two enantiomeric forms of a chiral molecule is called a: Racemic Mixture or Racemate. 3 Review of Stereochemistry Diastereomers Diastereomers are non-enantiomeric isomers arising when more than one stereocenter is present in a molecule. (R,S) “Meso” (S,S) (R,R) Enantiomers Compounds which differ in the absolute configuration at a single stereogenic center are called Epimers.
