  2. Diastereomer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diastereomer

    In stereochemistry, diastereomers (sometimes called diastereoisomers) are a type of stereoisomer. [1] 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 ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Cis–trans isomerism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis–trans_isomerism

    Cis–trans isomerism, also known as geometric isomerism, describes certain arrangements of atoms within molecules. The prefixes " cis " and " trans " are from Latin: "this side of" and "the other side of", respectively. [1] In the context of chemistry, cis indicates that the functional groups (substituents) are on the same side of some plane ...

  6. Enantioselective synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enantioselective_synthesis

    Enantioselective synthesis, also called asymmetric synthesis, [1] is a form of chemical synthesis.It is defined by IUPAC as "a chemical reaction (or reaction sequence) in which one or more new elements of chirality are formed in a substrate molecule and which produces the stereoisomeric (enantiomeric or diastereomeric) products in unequal amounts."

  7. 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.

  8. Stereochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereochemistry

    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 bonded atoms (constitution), but differ in ...

  9. Conformational isomerism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformational_isomerism

    Conformational isomerism. Rotation about single bond of butane to interconvert one conformation to another. The gauche conformation on the right is a conformer, while the eclipsed conformation on the left is a transition state between conformers. Above: Newman projection; below: depiction of spatial orientation.
