  28. Chirality chiral objects right hand left hand achiral objects Chiral objects are objects with left-handed and right-handed forms Achiral objects - objects that have superimposable mirror images Nonsuperimposable mirror images - a mirror image that is not the same as the image itself - chiral objects have nonsuperimposab/e mirror images
  29. Assymetric Center Chirality is not reserved just for objects - molecules can be chiral Chiral molecules - generally molecules containing an asymmetric center Asymmetric (chiral) center - tetrahedral atom bonded to four different groups - indicated with an asterisk ( * ) an asymmetric center CH3CH2CH2CHCH2CH2CH2CH3 OH 4-octanol CH3CHCH2CH3 2-bromobutane CH3 CH3CHCH2CHCH2CH3 CH3 2,4-dimethyIhexane
  30. Chiral Molecules with One Asymmetric Center Molecules with one chiral center would have 2 enantiomers *Chiral molecules would have 2n enantiomers (where n is the number of chiral centers) CH3CHCH2CH3 2-bromobutane CH3CH2 CH3 CH2CH3 CH3 mirror the two isomers of 2-bromobutane enantiomers
  31. How to Represent Enantiomers: Perspective Formulas Perspective Formulas - shows two bonds of the asymmetric center as lines in the plane of the paper, another bond as a solid wedge protruding forward out of the paper, and the fourth bond as a hatched wedge extending behind the paper CH2CH3 CH3CH2 perspective formulas of the enantiomers of 2-bromobutane
  32. Fischer Projections Fisher Projection - representation of an asymmetric center as the point of intersection of two perpendicular lines Horizontal lines represent bonds that project out of the plane of the paper Vertical lines represent bonds that extend back from the plane of the paper away from the viewer

  34. Naming Enantiomers -R,S System STEP 1. Rank the groups/atoms bonded to the asymmetric center in order of priority. - rank in terms of atomic mass. Higher atomic mass, higher priority. - let's have I-chloro-l-ethanol as an example. CHs 1. Chlorine = 36 amu 2. Oxygen = 16 amu 3. Carbon = 12 amu 4. Hydrogen = 1 amu STEP 2. Rotate the molecule so that the lowest priority group is pointing away from the read Prioritize the substituent groups CH3 HO Rotate lowest priority group to back CHs HO @ CH3 Cl OH
  35. Naming Enantiomers -R,S System Step 3. Trace your finger around the three highest priority groups in order of the priority. - If the circle is moving counterclockwise the CIP designation is "S". If the circle is moving clockwise the CIP designation is "R". CH3 Counterclockwise order of priority indicates the S absolute configuration Step 4. Name the enantiomer in terms of its R or S configuration. - the name for this isomer is (S)-l-chloro-l-ethanol
  36. Naming Enantiomers -R,S System Assigning Priorities to Groups 1. 2. 3. 4. Oxygen (from CH20H) = 16 Carbon (from CH2CH3) = attached to carbon Carbon (from CH3) = attached to hydrogen Hydrogen = 1 Figure 4. Some example groups in order of priority (highest to Iou est).
