Chirality
• “Handedness”: right glove doesn’t fit the left
hand.
• Mirror-image object is different from the
original object
chapter 6
Examples of Handed Objects
•
•
•
•
•
Your hands, from the previous slide
Gloves
Scissors
Screws
Golf clubs
chapter 6
How about molecules?
• Chemical substances can be handed
• Handed substances are said to be chiral
• Molecules, that are chiral are
nonsuperimposable on their mirror image
chapter 6
Chirality in Molecules
• cis isomers are achiral (not chiral).
chapter 6
Chirality in Molecules
• The cis isomer is achiral.
• The trans isomer is chiral.
chapter 6
Chirality in Molecules
• The cis isomer is achiral.
• The trans isomer is chiral.
• Enantiomers: nonsuperimposable mirror
images, different molecules.
chapter 6
Chirality in Molecules
• The cis isomer is achiral.
• The trans isomer is chiral.
• Enantiomers: nonsuperimposable mirror
images, different molecules.
• One enantiomeric form of limonene smells
like oranges, while its mirror image smells like
lemons.
chapter 6
Chirality in Molecules
• The cis isomer is achiral.
• The trans isomer is chiral.
• Enantiomers: nonsuperimposable mirror images,
different molecules.
• One enantiomeric form of limonene smells like
oranges, while its mirror image smells like lemons.
• The one enantiomer of carvone is the essence of
caraway, and the other, the essence of spearmint.
• Most molecules in the plant and animal world are
chiral and usually only one form of then enantiomer is
found.

• Nineteen of the twenty known amino acids are chiral,
and all of them are classified as left handed.
chapter 6
Chirality in Molecules
• The cis isomer is achiral.
• The trans isomer is chiral.
• Enantiomers: nonsuperimposable mirror
images, different molecules.
chapter 6
Stereocenters
• Any atom at which the exchange of two
groups yields a stereoisomer.
• Examples:
• Asymmetric carbons
• Double-bonded carbons in cis-trans isomers
=>
chapter 6
Mirror Planes of Symmetry
• If two groups are the same, carbon is achiral.
(animation)
• A molecule with an internal mirror plane
cannot be chiral.*
Caution! If there is no
plane of symmetry,
molecule may be chiral
or achiral. See if
mirror image can be
superimposed.
chapter 6
(R), (S) Nomenclature(Absolute Configuration)
• Called the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog convention
• Different molecules (enantiomers) must have
different
• names.
• Usually only one enantiomer will be
biologically active.
• Configuration around the chiral carbon is
specified
with (R) and (S).
chapter 6
Cahn-Ingold-Prelog Rules
• Assign a priority number to each group attached to
the chiral carbon.
• Atom with highest atomic number assigned the
highest priority #1.
• In case of ties, look at the next atoms along the
• chain.
• Double and triple bonds are treated like bonds to
• duplicate atoms.
chapter 6
Assign (R) or (S)
• Working in 3D, rotate molecule so that lowest
priority group is in back.
• Draw an arrow from highest to lowest priority
group.
• Clockwise = (R), Counterclockwise = (S)
chapter 6
Properties of Enantiomers
•
•
•
•
Same boiling point, melting point, density
Same refractive index
Different direction of rotation in polarimeter
Different interaction with other chiral
molecules
– Enzymes
– Taste buds, scent
chapter 6
Plane-Polarized Light
• Polarizing filter –
calcite crystals or
plastic sheet.
• When two filters
are used, the
amount of light
transmitted
depends on the
angle of the axes.
chapter 6
Polarimetry
•
•
•
•
•
Use monochromatic light, usually sodium D
Movable polarizing filter to measure angle
Clockwise = dextrorotatory = d or (+)
Counterclockwise = levorotatory = l or (-)
Not related to (R) and (S)
chapter 6
Biological Discrimination
chapter 6
Racemic Mixtures
• Equal quantities of d- and l- enantiomers a
50/50 mixture.
• Notation: (d,l) or ()
• No optical activity.
• The mixture may have different b.p. and m.p.
from the enantiomers!
chapter 6
Fischer Projections
• Flat drawing that represents a 3D molecule.
• A chiral carbon is at the intersection of
horizontal and vertical lines.
• Horizontal lines are forward, out-of-plane.
• Vertical lines are behind the plane.
chapter 6
Fischer Rules
• Carbon chain is on the vertical line.
• Horizontal bonds pointing up with respect to the
plane of the paper.
• Vertical bonds pointing down with respect to the
plane of the paper.
• Highest oxidized carbon at top.
• Rotation of 180 in plane doesn’t change
molecule.
• Do not rotate 90!
• Do not turn over out of plane!
chapter 6
Fischer Structures
• Easy to draw, easy to find enantiomers, easy to
find internal mirror planes.

=>
Fischer (R) and (S)
• Lowest priority (usually H) comes forward, so
assignment rules are backwards!
• Clockwise 1-2-3 is (S) and counterclockwise 12-3 is (R).

Diastereomers
• Stereoisomers that are not mirror images.
• Molecules with 2 or more chiral carbons.
• Geometric isomers (cis-trans), since they are
not mirror images.

• Cis-trans isomers possible.
• May also have enantiomers.
• Example: trans-1,2-dimethylcyclopentane
=>
chapter 6
Two or More Chiral Carbons
• Enantiomer? Diastereomer? Meso? Assign (R)
or (S) to each chiral carbon.
• Enantiomers have opposite configurations at
each corresponding chiral carbon.
• Diastereomers have some matching, some
opposite configurations.
• Meso compounds have internal mirror plane.
• Maximum number is 2n, where n = the
number of chiral carbons.

Fischer-Rosanoff Convention
• Before 1951, only relative configurations could be
known.
• Sugars and amino acids with same relative
configuration as (+)-glyceraldehyde were assigned D
and same as (-)-glyceraldehyde were assigned L.
• With X-ray crystallography, we now know absolute
configurations: D is (R) and L is (S).
• No relationship to dextro- or levorotatory, meaning
that some D enantiomers are (R) and some are (S).
• Anyone who can look at a structure and determine
which way it will rotate polarized light receives an
automatic Noble Prize! There is a lot we do not know!

Properties of Diastereomers
• Diastereomers have different physical
properties: m.p., b.p.
• They can be separated easily.
• Enantiomers differ only in reaction with other
chiral molecules and the direction in which
polarized light is rotated.
• Enantiomers are difficult to separate
chapter 6
Resolution of Enantiomers
• Pasteur was the first to resolve an enatiomeric
mixture, using a magnifying glass and
tweezers.
• Animals can consume a racemate and
metabolize on of the tow enantiomers, while
the other is recovered in their waste products.
• Chemical means, described on the next slide
chapter 6
Chemical Resolution of Racemate
• React a racemic mixture with a chiral
compound to form diastereomers, which can
