  2. Stereoisomerism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoisomerism

    Stereochemistry focuses on stereoisomers, red boxes in the picture. In stereochemistry, stereoisomerism, or spatial isomerism, is a form of isomerism in which molecules have the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms (constitution), but differ in the three-dimensional orientations of their atoms in space. [1][2] This contrasts with ...

  3. Diastereomer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diastereomer

    Diastereomers are defined as non-mirror image, non-identical stereoisomers. Hence, they occur when two or more stereoisomers of a compound have different configurations at one or more (but not all) of the equivalent (related) stereocenters and are not mirror images of each other. [2] When two diastereoisomers differ from each other at only one ...

  4. Stereochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereochemistry

    Stereochemistry focuses on stereoisomers. Stereochemistry, a subdiscipline of chemistry, studies the spatial arrangement of atoms that form the structure of molecules and their manipulation. [1] The study of stereochemistry focuses on the relationships between stereoisomers, which by definition have the same molecular formula and sequence of ...

  5. Molecular configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_configuration

    Molecular configuration. The molecular configuration of a molecule is the permanent geometry that results from the spatial arrangement of its bonds. [1] The ability of the same set of atoms to form two or more molecules with different configurations is stereoisomerism. This is distinct from constitutional isomerism which arises from atoms being ...

  6. Stereoselectivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoselectivity

    Stereoselectivity. In chemistry, stereoselectivity[1] is the property of a chemical reaction in which a single reactant forms an unequal mixture of stereoisomers during a non- stereospecific creation of a new stereocenter or during a non-stereospecific transformation of a pre-existing one. [2] The selectivity arises from differences in steric ...

  7. Stereocenter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereocenter

    Stereocenter. In stereochemistry, a stereocenter of a molecule is an atom (center), axis or plane that is the focus of stereoisomerism; that is, when having at least three different groups bound to the stereocenter, interchanging any two different groups creates a new stereoisomer. [ 1 ][ 2 ] Stereocenters are also referred to as stereogenic ...

  8. Atropisomer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atropisomer

    The atropisomer is an iodoaryl compound synthesised starting from (S)- valine and exists as the (M,S) isomer and the (P,S) isomer. The interconversion barrier between the two is 24.3 kcal / mol (101.7 kJ /mol). The (M,S) isomer can be obtained exclusively from this mixture by recrystallisation from hexanes.

  9. Isomer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomer

    For part of the body of the proarticulates, see isomer (Proarticulata). In chemistry, isomers are molecules or polyatomic ions with identical molecular formula – that is, the same number of atoms of each element – but distinct arrangements of atoms in space. [ 1 ]Isomerism refers to the existence or possibility of isomers.
