Chapter 5 3 Stereoisomers • Geometric isomers: cis-trans isomers. • Enantiomers: nonsuperimposable mirror images, different molecules. => cis-1,2-dichlorocyclopentane trans -1,2-dichlorocyclopentane H Cl H Cl H Cl H Cl H Cl Cl H H Cl Cl H
Chiral carbons Tetrahedral carbons with 4 different attached groups are chiral Its mirror image will be a different compound(enantiomer) > mirror Chapter 5
Chapter 5 4 Chiral Carbons • Tetrahedral carbons with 4 different attached groups are chiral. • Its mirror image will be a different compound (enantiomer). =>

Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rules e c 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 5
Chapter 5 7 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. =>
