Stereochemistry and Isomerism

Stereochemistry deals with the three-dimensional structure and properties of molecules. It explains the arrangement of atoms and their manipulation within a molecule in a 3D structure. Stereochemistry can be dealt with all types of molecules. Based on the stereochemistry of a molecule, the physical and chemical properties of the molecules vary.

Distinguish between isomerism and resonance. Distinguish between structural and geometric isomerism. When writing the various structural isomers, the most difficult task is identifying which are different isomers and which are identical to a previously written structurethat is, which are compounds that differ only by the rotation of a carbon single bond. How do you distinguish between structural isomers and those that are identical? Alkenes and cycloalkanes are structural isomers of each other. Give an example of each using C4H8. Another common feature of alkenes and cycloalkanes is that both have restricted rotation about one or more bonds in the compound, so both can exhibit cis- trans isomerism. What is required for an alkene or cycloalkane to exhibit cis-trans isomerism? Explain the difference between cis and trans isomers. Alcohols and ethers are structural isomers of each other, as are aldehydes and ketones. Give an example of each to illustrate. Which functional group in Table 21-4 can be structural isomers of carboxylic acids? What is optical isomerism? What do you look for to determine whether an organic compound exhibits optical isomerism? 1-Bromo-1-chloroethane is optically active whereas 1-bromo-2-chloroethane is not optically active. Explain.
In the next chapter we'll look at cycloalkanesâ€”saturated cyclic hydrocarbonsâ€”and weâ€™ll see that the molecules generally adopt puckered, nonplanar conformations. Cyclohexane, for instance, has a puckered shape like a lounge chair rather than a flat shape. Why?
3. Which of the following does not show conformational isomerism and Explain the reason for each? A. Ethane B. Ethene C. Ethyne D. Methane. 5. Why conformational isomers generally can not be separated from one another at room temperature?
a. Draw the lowest energy conformation for the compound shown in the image. b. Draw the complete structural formula of the following compound: cis-1-bromo-3-chlorocyclohexane.
For the following structural formula, pick the structure that accurately represents its MOST STABLE conformation. CH3 H₂Cl... Br Br Br H₂C O D. O B. O C. O A. CH3 A CH3 B CH3 ... Br 주 Br H3C C CH3 H3C CH3 D
3. How many kinds of H are there in the isomers of dimethylcyclopropane?
S.3. Show in each of the pairs below whether the two structures are structural isomers, stereoisomers, or different Conformations of the same compound.
Replace one of the H atoms in the ethane model with a Br atom, to form ethyl bromide CH3CH2Br, and draw a projection (lewis) and a perspective drawing. Does replacing different hydrogen atoms in CH3CH3 to produce Ch3CH2br give you different isomers? (i.e. Are all the hydrogen atoms equivalent?) How many isomers of CH3CH2Br can you construct? Make a model of one other conformer of CH3CH2Br. DId you need to break any bonds to form the second conformer from the first?
The eclipsed and staggered forms of ethane are said to differ in: Select one: molecular formula. structure conformation. constitution. configuration.
