Q

what are the rules to labeling stereocenters of a tetrahedral?

A
  1. prioritize the atoms by increasing atomic number (look at the periodic table)
    *if 2 or more are the same, look at what they are attached to to find a point of difference.
  2. Only consider atoms 1-3
    * if it is clockwise (to the right)=R stereoisomer
    * if is it counterclockwise (to the left= S stereoisomer
  3. look at group 4.
    *if it is on the dash, the stereocenter is on the dash, keep it as it is
    *if it is on the wedge, invert the isomer.

Q

why can enantiomers impact how a compound interacts within the body?

A

the body recognizes the different stereocenter.

(i.e. spearmint vs. caraway seed smells)

Enantiomer isomers usually involves one form that can be dangerous, usually diastereomers extra form doesn't really do
much of anything

steps to labeling an alkene stereoisomer:
1. find the stereocenter. this is where you have a double bond with 2 carbons. 2. Look at the right side and decide the priority 3. look at the left and decide the priority 4. draw a line through the double bond. If the priorities are both on the top or both on the bottom it is a Z isomer. If the priorities are on the opposite side then it is an E isomer.
