SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES FOR STEREOCHEMISTRY
SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES FOR STEREOCHEMISTRYSOME IMPORTANT CONCEPTS IN STEREOCHEMISTRY1. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SYMMETRY AND CHIRALITYAsymmetric objects are chiral Symmetric objects are achiral2. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OBJECTS AND THEIR MIRROR IMAGESSymmetric objects are superposable with their mirror images. They are one and the objects are nonsuperposable with their mirror images. They are different the case of molecules, chiral molecules and their mirror images are different molecules and their mirror images are a kind of stereoisomers called DEFINITIONSStereoisomers - Compounds that have the same molecular formula and the same connectivity, but different arrangement of the atoms in 3-dimensional space. Stereoisomers cannot be converted into each other without breaking - Nonsuperposable mirror images, or chiral molecules which are mirror , or asymmetric carbon - A tetrahedral carbon atom bearing four different centers, or stereocenters - Asymmetrically substituted atoms in a molecular structure.
