Chapter 5, Problem 18PP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The configuration (R,S) is to be assigned at each chirality center in Darvon.

Concept Introduction:

▸ The molecules which are non-superimposable or not identical with their mirror images are known as chiral molecules.

▸ A pair of two mirror images which are non-identical is known as enantiomers which are optically active.

▸ The objects or molecules which are superimposable with their mirror images are achiral objects or molecules and these objects have a centre of symmetry or plane of symmetry.

▸ The achiral compounds in which plane of symmetry is present internally and consists of chiral centres are known as meso compounds but they are optically inactive.

▸ The stereoisomers which are non-superimposable on each other and not mirror images of each other are known as diastereomers.

▸ Chiral molecules are capable of rotating plane polarized light

▸ The molecules which are superimposable or identical with their mirror images are known as achiral molecules, and achiral molecules are not capable of rotating the plane-polarised light.

▸ Priority is given to all the four group attached to the chirality center.

▸ Priority is assigned according to the atomic number of the atom. Higher the atomic number, higher the priority given.

▸ If priority cannot be assigned according to atomic mass, then assign the priority according to the first point of difference.

▸ After giving priority to the four groups, rotate the molecule such that the fourth priority group is away from the observer.

▸ Now, move from a to b to c; if the direction is clockwise, then the chiral center is designated as (R) and if the direction is anticlockwise, then the chiral center is designated as (S).

Predict the major products of the following organic reaction: O O + A ? Some important notes: • Draw the major product, or products, of the reaction in the drawing area below. • If there aren't any products, because no reaction will take place, check the box below the drawing area instead. • Be sure to use wedge and dash bonds when necessary, for example to distinguish between major products that are enantiomers.
