  • Pyrethroid Stereoisomerism: Diastereomeric and Enantiomeric Selectivity in Environmental Matrices – a Review

Av. Carlos Chagas Filho s/n, bloco G, sala 60, subsolo - 21941-902. Cidade Universitária, Rio de Janeiro, RJ. Brasil. Article history: Received: 30 July 2017; revised: 10 October 2017; accepted: 08 March 2018. Available online: 11 March 2018. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17807/orbital.v10i4.1057 Abstract: Pyrethroids are chiral insecticides characterized by stereoisomerism, which occurs due to the presence of one to three asymmetric (chiral) carbons, generating one or two pairs of cis/trans diastereomers, and two or four pairs of enantiomers. Diastereomers have equal chemical properties and different physical properties, while enantiomer pairs, have the same physicochemical properties, with exception by the ability to deviate the plane of polarized light to the right or to the left. However, stereoisomers exhibit different toxicities at the metabolic level, presenting enzyme and receptor selectivity in biological systems. Studies in aquatic organisms have shown that toxic effects are caused by specific enantiomers (1R-cis and 1R-trans) and that those cause potential estrogenic effects (1S-cis and 1S- trans). In this context, the same compound can have wide-ranging effects in organisms. Therefore, several studies have highlighted pyrethroid stereochemical selectivity in different environmental matrices. The analytical ability to distinguish the diastereomeric and enantiomeric patterns of these compounds is fundamental for understanding the processes of biotransformation, degradation environmental behavior and ecotoxicological impacts.

At 298.2 K Shklovskaya et al. (5,7,8,11,14-20,22,23,25,27,28,44) reported the identical solubility of 43.82 mass %, and although the work spans a period of 10 years (1974-1983), it is not possible to determine the number of independent measurements in these 18 publi­ cations. The solubility of 43.30 mass % at 298.2 K reported in (24) is distinctly lower than all other findings and is therefore rejected. Unezawa et al. (33) reported the solubility to be about 76 g/lOO g H20 (43.2 mass %) over the temperature range of 278-343 K, and although this is an interesting result its qualitative nature led us to conclude that it should not be compiled. However the importance of this paper is that the authors identified the stable solid phase at room temperature as hexagonal LiI03 (i.e. the a-phase) which is consistent with other quantitative data as discussed below. A graphical summary of the solubility of LiI03 in water is given in the polytherm figure below.

Gschneidner, Jr. and LeRoy Eyring ISBN: 978-0-444-87045-2 by kmno4 Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths, edited by K.A. Gschneidner, Jr. and L. Eyring © Elsevier Science Publishers B.V., 1987 PREFACE Karl A. GSCHNEIDNER, Jr., and LeRoy EYRING o These elements perplex us in our rearches [sic], baffle us in our speculations, and haunt us in our very dreams. They stretch like an unknown sea before us- mocking, mystifying, and murmuring strange revelations and possibilities. Sir William Crookes (February 16, 1887) There are those who feel that the rare earth elements are destined to play an even greater role in our "high-tech" society in the future than they have in the past. This judgement is based upon the trend of increasing applications resulting from the electronic structures of these materials that lead to their unusual optical, magnetic, electrical and chemical properties so adaptable to the demands now being placed on materials. The "Handbook" seeks to provide topical reviews and compilations of critically reviewed data to aid in the design and fabrication of the required new materials. Four additional chapters in this tradition are the contents of this volume. The development of lasers containing rare earth species sparked an interest in glasses containing these elements. Reisfeld and J0rgensen discuss excited-state phenomena in vitreous rare-earth-containing substances. The description of the chemistry and crystal chemistry of complex inorganic compounds of the rare earths is continued by Niinist6 and Leskelfi from the previous volume.

  • Stereoisomerism and Chirality Atin Shanker
    IOSR Journal of Applied Chemistry (IOSR-JAC) e-ISSN: 2278-5736.Volume 14, Issue 6 Ser. I (June 2021), PP 10-12 www.iosrjournals.org Stereoisomerism and Chirality Atin Shanker Abstract The purpose of this study is to give a basic introduction to stereoisomerism and chirality. In this paper I discuss about the mechanisms involved behind their formation and their types. Chiral compounds play an important role in daily organic working. Homochirality, a controversial topic, is also discussed by showcasing its unconventional occurrence and results from a computer stimulated study by Chen Y, Ma W. Types of stereoisomers and how they occur in nature has also been discussed. This review will give you a basic idea about the opticality involved inorganic compounds specifically stereoisomers and its subsidiaries. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date of Submission: 14-06-2021 Date of Acceptance: 28-06-2021 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Introduction Stereochemistry, Term originated c. 1878 by Viktor Meyer (1848–97) for the study of stereoisomers (see isomer). Louis Pasteur had shown in 1848 that tartaric acid has optical activity and that this depends on molecular asymmetry, and Jacobus H. van‟t Hoff and Joseph-Achille Le Bel (1847–1930) had independently explained in 1874 how a molecule with a carbon atom bonded to four different groups has two mirror-image forms. Stereochemistry deals with stereoisomers and with asymmetric synthesis. John Cornforth (b. 1917) and Vladimir Prelog (1906–98) shared a 1975 Nobel Prize for work on stereochemistry and stereoisomerism of alkaloids, enzymes, antibiotics, and other natural compounds. Beginning early in the 19th century, developments in crystallography, optics, and chemistry in France set the stage for the discovery of molecular chirality by Louis Pasteur in 1848.
