7.2 The Chirality Center Carbon atom is asymmetric C is a stereogenic center Enantiomers are stereoisomers since the atoms at the stereogenic carbon are arranged differently in space.YSU
Mirror images of chlorodifluoromethane are superimposable Figure 7.2 Achiral i.e. not chiral 7.3 Symmetry in achiral structuresYSU
7.4 Optical activity Figure 7.4 Typical polarimeter setup : [ ] D = 100 x (rotation)/(cell length) x (concentration)YSU
7.8 Enantiomers same physical properties except rotation of plane polarized light one enantiomer positive rotation (+) other negative rotation (-)YSU
Which molecules contain chiral (stereogenic) centers? The stereogenic C must have 4 different groups attachedYSU
7.5 Absolute and Relative Configuration Absolute Configuration – Actual arrangement of substituents in space (+)-2-butanol and (-)-2-butanol, but which is which? Relative Configuration - Configuration relative to another compound. Pre-1951, compounds could be related to each other but the absolute configuration was not able to be determined.YSU
