1 Chemistry 125: Lecture 28 Stereochemical Nomenclature, Racemization and Resolution Determination of the actual atomic arrangement in tartaric acid in 1949 motivated a change in stereochemical nomenclature from Fischer’s 1891 genealogical convention (D,L) to the CIP scheme (R,S) based on conventional group priorities. Configurational isomers can be interconverted by racemization and epimerization. Pure enantiomers can be separated from racemic mixtures by resolution schemes based on selective crystallization of conglomerates or temporary formation of diastereomers. Synchronize when the speaker finishes saying “The kind of thing we talked about Friday.” Synchrony can be adjusted by using the pause(||) and run(>) controls.

2 Dr. Ridker, a co-inventor of a CRP test, said he first sought federal financing for the study and was turned down. He and the other scientists interviewed for this article, except for Dr. Nabel, Dr. Gardner and Dr. Wolfe, have consulted for or received research money from statin makers. Like many clinical trials, the Jupiter study was sponsored by a pharmaceutical company, in this case AstraZeneca. It makes the drug in the trial, rosuvastatin, which is sold as Crestor.

3 Tartaric Acid Isomers Configurational Nomenclature Defined as “D”-glyceraldehyde (Fischer’s Guess) m.p. [  ] D 140°C 0° 170°C +13° 170°C -13° (meso) (d extro +) (l aevo - ) Phenomenological Multi-Step Synthesis D-Tartaric Acid Why not? Genealogical (Fischer, 1891) d-(+)-glyceraldehyde HOCH 2 CH(OH)CHO Relative (by synthesis) to ? D/L designation is ambiguous without having a detailed synthesis recipe or a convention. ?

4 Absolute Configuration J. M. Bijvoet van't Hoff Laboratory, Univ. Utrecht (1949-51) Na Rb d-(L)-Tartrate X-ray anomalous dispersion 60 year old Fischer Guess for (L)-Tartrate “The question of nomenclature is beyond the scope of our investigation... The problem of nomenclature now concerns given configurations, and requires a notation which denotes these configurations in an unambiguous and if possible self- explanatory way.” (Bijvoet, 1951)

5 Naming Double Bond Configuration Malic Acid (HO 2 C)CH(OH).CH 2. (CO 2 H) Maleic & Fumaric Acids (HO 2 C)HC=CH(CO 2 H)  cis (on this side of) trans (across) cis or trans? Absolute nomenclature is hard to generalize O O O + H 2 O cis trans (though relative is fine) 

6 Double Bond Configuration Assign groups at either end "priority" by atomic number (or weight for isotopes) at first difference O O (E) ntgegen (Opposed) (Z) usammen (Together) The names trans and cis are "polluted" by previous usage.

8 Robinson: "Hello Katchalsky. What are you doing here in Zurich?" from V. Prelog, My 132 semesters of chemistry studies (1981) The 1950s "CIP" Priority Scheme is Conventional R. S. Cahn C. K. Ingold V. Prelog Robinson: "Well then, if it is not wrong, it is absolutely unnecessary." Robinson: "You know, Prelog, your and Ingold's configurational notation is all wrong." Prelog: "Excuse me, Sir Robert, I am only Prelog, and I live here." Prelog: "Sir Robert, it can't be wrong. It is just a convention. You either accept it or not." R. RobinsonR.
