Relationships of Stereoisomers
Isomers: Compounds with the same molecular formula Constitutional (or structural) isomers Stereoisomers Same atom connectivity Different atom Interconvert through rotation about a single bond Conformational isomers or rotamers Configurational isomers Not readily Interconvertible Constitutional (structural) isomers Configurational isomers Enantiomers Diastereomers Chiral w/ chiral centers (optically active) w/o chiral centers (opt. inactive) Geometric isomers Achiral Conformational isomers mirror images at this carbon Enantiomeric Not mirror images Diastereomers Not mirror images at this carbon Diastereomeric Cis, Trans (E,Z) isomers cis and trans isomers mirror images Enantiomers Courtesy of Brown/Foote, Organic Chemistry, 3/e, Figure 1 Harcourt, Inc. items and derived items copyright by Harcourt, Inc. and July 24-27, 2006, San Diego, CA

Chiral vs Achiral Compounds
Chiral Molecule: Has one stereogenic center (typically C, but can be N, P, etc.), which is attached to 4 different substituents asymmetric one that is not superimposable on its mirror image (the two are not identical) i.e. hands, keys, shoes the two mirror image forms are called enantiomers Optically active Achiral Molecule: Has no stereogenic center; the carbon atom has less than 4 non-equivalent substituents attached has a plane of symmetry one that is superimposable on its mirror image (the two are identical) i.e. nail, ball, a baseball bat Not optically active July 24-27, 2006, San Diego, CA
5
Determination of Optical Activity
Each enantiomer has an equal but opposite optical rotation; can be measured using optical rotation polarimeter One enantiomer rotates polarized light in a clockwise direction and is then designed as (+), or dextrorotatory The other enantiomer rotates polarized light in counter-clockwise direction and is the (-) enantiomer, or levorotatory Racemates (1:1 mixture of enantiomers) have no observable optical rotation; they cancel each other out Specific Rotation = []D = l * c where = observed rotation, l = cell length in dm, c = concentration in g/mL, and D is the 589nm light from a sodium lamp ©1999 William Reusch, All rights reserved (most recent revision 7/14/2006) July 24-27, 2006, San Diego, CA

Stereochemistry Terms
Isomers: Compounds with the different chemical structures and the same molecular formula Stereoisomers: compounds made up of the same atoms but have different arrangement of atoms in space Enantiomers are the 2 mirror image forms of a chiral molecule can contain any number of chiral centers, as long as each center is the exact mirror image of the corresponding center in the other molecule Identical physical and chemical properties, but may have different biological profiles. Need chiral recognition to be separated. Different optical rotations (One enantiomer is (+) or dextrorotatory (clockwise), while the other is (-) or levorotatory (counter clockwise)) Racemate: a 1:1 mixture of enantiomers. Separation of enantiomers occurs when mixture is reacted with a chiral stationary phase to form 2 diastereomeric complexes that can be separated by chromatographic techniques Diastereomers: stereoisomers that are not enantiomers Have different chemical and physical characteristics, and can be separated by non-chiral methods. Has at least 2 chiral centers; the number of potential diastereomers for each chiral center is determined by the equation 2n, where n=the number of chiral centers July 24-27, 2006, San Diego, CA

Chiral Chromatography
Chiral Recognition: Ability of chiral stationary phase, CSP, to interact differently with each enantiomer to form transient-diastereomeric complexes; requires a minimum of 3 interactions through: H-bonding π-π interactions Dipole stacking Inclusion complexing Steric bulk Five general types of CSPs used in chromatography: Polymer-based carbohydrates Pirkle or brush-type phases Cyclodextrins Chirobiotic phases Protein-based CSP Biphenyl derivative July 24-27, 2006, San Diego, CA

Problem Solving Approaches
Derivatization of final products and intermediates Use of protecting groups such as t-BOC and CBZ (carbobenzyloxy) CBZ derivatization of chiral primary and secondary amines (common intermediates or final products of enantioselective synthesis) Adding CBZ can improve compound solubility, enables high efficiency purifications through repetitive, stacked injections Enhances chiral recognition and improves 3-point interactions; improves baseline separation ability by either HPLC or SFC CBZ protecting group easily attached and removed during synthetic processes Acylation of amine with benzyl chloroformate Amine is regenerated by catalytic hydrogenolysis using palladium on carbon Product is isolated by simple filtration and evaporation of the solvent Pd/C H2 PhCH2OCOCl iPr2NEt + CO2 + toluene Kraml, Christina et. al ,“Enhanced chromatographic resolution of amine enantiomers as carbobenzyloxy derivatives in high-performance liquid chromatography and supercritical fluid chromato Graphy”, J. of Chrom A, 1100 (2005) July 24-27, 2006, San Diego, CA
