Term
Biological properties effected by stereochemistry
Definition

oral availability

protein binding

distribution

target activity

Term
What is stereochemistry?
Definition

defines and describes the three dimensional spatial arrangement of atoms in a molecule

 

the study of isomers

Term
What are isomers?
Definition
Compounds with the SAME molecular formula, but DIFFERENT constitutions, conformations, or configurations
Term

Constitutional Isomers

 

 

 

other name?

Definition

Structural isomers:

 

differ in connectivity of atoms

Term
Conformational Isomers
Definition

isomers at potential energy minima, identical in constitution/configuration. differ only in torsion angles

 

different functional groups rotate around C-C or C-heteroatom bonds

Term

Configurational Isomers

 

 

other name?

Definition

Stereoisomers

 

isomers with same connectivity, differ in position of atoms in space

 

(has both internal reference and aspect of comparing 2 molecules)

Term
When drawing constitutional isomers, avoid labile, reactive groups, including...
Definition

Enol ethers

Hemi-acetals

Carbonates

Cations and Anions

Term

Torsion angle

 

(what is it and what type of isomer are we talking about?)

Definition

rotation around one bond in one molecule

 

Conformational isomers

Term

Eclipsed,

 

Staggered:

              Anti, Gauche

Definition

energy (high to low):

 

Eclipsed(large group eclipsing other large group)

Gauche

Anti

Term
Do alkyl groups favor equatorial or axial?
Definition
equatorial - more favored as size increases
Term

 

 

Atropisomers

 

what are they and what kind of isomer

Definition

Conformational

 

steric strain locks the isomer into one of the two steroisomers (can't rotate)

 

possess axial chirality

Term

 

 

4 kinds of

Configurational Isomers

Definition

 

Geometric isomers - cis/trans

enantiomers

diastereomers

meso compounds

Term

 

 

Geometric Isomers

Definition

 

differ in position of ligand relative to a reference plain

 

cis, trans

applies to: alkenes, cycloalkanes

Term

 

If an alkene has more than 2 substituents, what nomeclature do we use?

Definition

Not cis/trans!

E/Z!

E: high priority on opp. sides

Z: high priority on same side

E like trans, Z like cis

 

Term

 

 

What is an enantiomer?

Definition

 

Stereoisomer not superimposable on it's mirror image

Term

 

 

What is a racemic mixture?

(racemate)

Definition

 

 

a 1:1 mixture of two enantiomers

Term

 

 

What atoms can a stereocenter occur around?

Definition

 

Carbon

Sulfur

Phosphate

Term

 

 

Counter clockwise?

Definition

 

 

 

S

Term

 

 

Clockwise?

Definition

 

 

R

Term

 

 

Diastereomer

Definition

 

Non super imposable

NON mirror image

 

ex. E/Z olefins; more than 1 stereocenter

Term

 

If all centers are flipped (all that were R become S, all that were S become R) what type of stereoisomer do you have?

Definition

 

 

Enantiomer

(if one is not flipped: diastereomer)
