  1. Stereochemistry Paderborn, May 2005

  2. Founding Fathers of Stereochemistry Biot • Biot: The solutions of many naturally occurring compounds rotate the plane of polarization of polarized light (1815-1817) • Pasteur recognized in 1850 that this optical activity was caused by an asymmetric arrangement of atoms in a molecule • van’t Hoff and Le Bel described in 1874 how the atoms of a molecule are actually arranged in space Pasteur Van’t Hoff

  3. Subdisciplines of Stereochemistry • Static stereochemistry • Studies the three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms of a molecule in the ground state • Dynamic stereochemistry • Description of the steric relationships in molecules as they change from one state to another, for example during a chemical reaction

  4. Preview • Introduction • Conformational analysis • Cyclohexane • Bicyclic compounds, steroids • Heterocyclic compounds • Optical activity and stereoisomerism • Symmetry and chirality • Molecular asymmetry • Prochirality • Chiroptical properties of chiral molecules • Optical rotatory dispersion

  5. Introduction • Structure: Includes bothconstitution and configuration. • Constitution: Describes the kinds and order of the bonds and atoms or atom groups in a compound. • Configuration: Describes the different spatial arrangements of atoms or atom groups of a compound with a given constitution. • Stereoisomerism • Enantiomers: Image and mirror image are not identical • Diastereomers: Stereoisomers that are not mirror images • Conformation:Describes the different spatial arrangements of atoms or groups in a molecule that arise due to rotation (torsion) around single bonds.

  6. Examples • Structure and Constitution: • Configuration:

  22. Optical Activity and Stereoisomerism

  23. Chiroptical Properties of Chiral Molecules • A linearly polarized wave may be described as the result of a left polarized wave superimposed on a right polarized wave • Left and right polarized waves are absorbed differently by an optically active compound • When the two components are recombined after passing through an optically active medium, the result is an elliptically polarized wave with ellipticity θ:

  24. Optical Activity • Optically active compounds are circularly birefringent – the refractive indices of the left and right polarized waves differ: • v = c/n , therefore, if vL ‡ vR , then nL ‡ nR • There is a phase difference, resulting in optical rotation: •  = .d(nL - nR)/ = 180d(nL - nR)/ • The optical rotation is dependent on the wavelength – Optical rotatory dispersion
