Organic Chemistry Assignments Chapter 5: Week 9 (10/18-21)
Work Due by: Monday, October 24
Learning Goal: Be able to identify the types of isomerism in organic compounds, to identify and classify chiral centers, and explain the physical and chemical
consequences of chirality.

Grade
R and S Nomenclature
Be able to determine
if a molecule is Chiral
with an R or S
designation or if the
molecule is achiral.
1). Lecture 10/16 is missing so you need
to read sections 5.6 and 5.7 or view the
Stereochemistry video on educator.com.

Educator.com: R and S
Stereochemistry; A good
review of the previous lesson
plus the missed lesson. The
video must load to fast
forward. (26 min)

Problems _______
R and S continued with
Fischer Projections
Be able to draw a
Fischer Projection
from a line drawing
and determine if the
chiral center is R or S.

The Try This at the beginning:
Pure (S) – Oklahomic Acid gives
a specific rotation of +90o. How
much (S) and (R) – Oklahomic
Acid would there be in a
solution that gave -81o specific
rotation?
