STEREOISOMERS Flashcards
they have same connectivity, not identical
stereoisomers
asymetric (not the same as its mirror image)
chiral object
atom forms a tetrahedral center with 4 different groups
chirality center
2 molecules that are mirror but not superimposable and not identical
enantiomers
use to designate the R and S config.
Cahn-Ingold Prelog System
stereoisomers that are not mirror images and have different physical properties
diastereomers
molecules with even number of chiral center
meso compounds
used to represent molecules with chirality center
fischer projections
stereoisomers that are interchangeable
atropisomers
has two adjacent c=c bonds
allenes
separate compounds with different boiling points
distillation
separate compounds with different solubilities
recrystallization
used to separate compounds
affinity chromatography
here, enantiomers will react differently
chiral adsorbent
represents a group coming out of page
