The concepts of syn and anti addition are used to characterize the different reactions of organic chemistry by reflecting the stereochemistry of the products in a reaction. The type of addition that occurs depends on multiple different factors of a reaction, and is defined by the final orientation of the substituents on the parent molecule.
There are many more pairs of diastereomers, because each of these configurations is a diastereomer with respect to every other configuration excluding its own enantiomer (for example, R,R,R is a diastereomer of R,R,S; R,S,R; and R,S,S). For n = 4, there are sixteen stereoisomers, or
A racemic mixture is denoted by the prefix (±)-or dl-(for sugars the prefix dl-may be used), indicating an equal (1:1) mixture of dextro and levo isomers. Also the prefix rac- (or racem- ) or the symbols RS and SR (all in italic letters) are used.
Two kinds of stereoisomers. 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.
In this partial synthesis of the BC rings of Taxol, the framework buildup utilized an intramolecule [4+4] photocycloaddition of a relatively linear and simple 2-pyridone derivative, folding it into the desired fused rings with correct stereochemistry at C3, C8, and C15 (compare with Taxol on the right) and two double bonds on the B ring ready ...
Some authors have broadened the definition of the Michael addition to essentially refer to any 1,4-addition reaction of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. Others, however, insist that such a usage is an abuse of terminology, and limit the Michael addition to the formation of carbon–carbon bonds through the addition of carbon nucleophiles.
(R)-α-methoxy-α-(trifluoromethyl)- phenylacetic acid (Mosher's acid). In analytical chemistry, a chiral derivatizing agent (CDA), also known as a chiral resolving reagent, is a derivatization reagent that is a chiral auxiliary used to convert a mixture of enantiomers into diastereomers in order to analyze the quantities of each enantiomer present and determine the optical purity of a sample.
In stereochemistry, an epimer is one of a pair of diastereomers. [1] The two epimers have opposite configuration at only one stereogenic center out of at least two. [2] All other stereogenic centers in the molecules are the same in each. Epimerization is the interconversion of one epimer to the other epimer.
