Introduction: Stereochemistry may seem like a trivial subject because differences between stereoisomers are usually subtle. In nature, however, and most importantly, in biological systems such as the human body, these subtle differences have sweeping implications. Most drugs for example, are often composed of a single stereoisomer of a compound, and while one stereoisomer may have positive effects on the body, another stereoisomer may be toxic. Because of this, a great deal of work done by synthetic organic chemists today is in devising methods to synthesize compounds that are purely one stereoisomer.Accordingly, examples of bioequivalence studies based on stereospecific assays have started to appear in the literature. Fortunately, facile stereospecific assays have become available in the last several years for many drugs. Consequently, regulatory agencies have started to take the issue of stereochemistry into consideration in the assessment of bioequivalence, particularly from the standpoint of generic substitution. Amino acids, Lactic acid and Carbohydrates are discussed with reference to their configurations. The importance of the different properties in isomeric forms of some common pharmaceuticals are also examined

1. The importance of stereochemistry in drug action is well-known. Different stereoisomers can have very different biological effects. This section builds on the study of stereochemistry in H2 Chemistry.
2.Learning Outcomes Candidates should be able to:
(a) explain the importance of optical isomerism to drug

    Enantiomers are stereoisomers whose molecules are non-superposable mirror images of each other. Diastereomers are stereoisomers whose molecules are not mirror image of each other. The Cis and Trans isomers are diastereomers. Cis isomer, also called Z isomer is a molecules with two like groups on the same side of molecules. On the other hands, Trans isomer, also called E isomer is a molecules with two like group on opposite sides of the molecules. The difference between Cis and Trans isomers are that Cis isomers are polar, and Trans isomers are comparatively non-polar, Cis isomers has the higher boiling point compared to the Trans isomers, Trans isomers have a higher melting point compared to the Cis isomers, and Trans molecules are well packed than the Cis molecules. In this experiment, the cobalt (II) chloride hexahydrate is reacted with ethlenediamine (NH2CH2CH2NH2) to form [Co(en)2(H2O)2]Cl. Then hydrogen peroxide is added that changes the charge of cobalt from II to III. Finally, the HCl is added to the solution, that forms [Co(en)2Cl2]Cl. Trans isomer of [Co(en)2Cl2]Cl forms green color, and cis isomers of [Co(en)2Cl2]Cl forms purple…

    In this lab we used the greener approach, which involves the addition of bromine across a double bond. When bromine reacts with E-stilbene (trans-1,2-diphenylethene), two new chiral carbons are created from the sp2 carbons, therefore 3 different dibrominated stereoisomers are possible: meso-(1R,2S), or the raceminc mixture-(1R,2R) or (1S,2S)-dibromo-1,2-diphenylethane (Gilbert, 2010). When the bromination ion intermediate proceeds through a stereospecific mechanism, then the meso dibromide is formed exclusively. The racemic dibromides are formed from the concerted syn addition if the mechanism proceeds through a carbocation.…

    When an electrophile, such as bromine, adds to an alkene, the addition can be done in a syn fashion, in which the two groups add to the same side of the molecule, or in an anti fashion, in which the groups add to opposite sides of the molecule. Depending on the mode of addition, syn or anti, and the stereochemistry of the starting alkene, various stereoisomers will result. In some cases, a racemic mixture of products is formed, other times a meso compound is produced.…

    Introduction:The purpose of this experiment is to determine how a nitro group on benzaldehyde affects the stereoisomer formation of the alkene formed in a Wittig Reaction. The nitro group is substituted in the ortho, meta, and para positions, and benzaldehyde serves as a control. The ylide used is (carbethoxymethylene) triphenylphosphorane. Through the utilization of NMR spectroscopy, the products of the reactions will be analyzed to gain a ratio of E /Z isomers.…

    The purpose of this experiment was to convert carboxyl compounds into alkenes. While this reaction yields both the E and Z isomers, it is preferred over other reactions due to the lack of uncertainty of where the double bond is positioned. Also the stability of an ylide determines which isomer is the major product. 1…
