study the difference between the stereochemistry of the two isomers‚ maleic and fumaric acid. The first part of the experiment called for the conversion of maleic acid into fumaric acid with the addition of a proton using the acid-catalyzed isomerisation‚ vacuum filtration‚ and reflux processes. The second part of the experiment was intended for using the molecular modelling kits as a way to visualize the differences between such isomers.

Importance of stereoisomers in a biological system Isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas. Stereoisomers are isomers that have the same sequence of bonded atoms‚ but they differ in their three dimensional orientation in space. [pic] shown above is an example of the two types of Stereoisomers; Enantiomers‚ which are stereioisomers which are non-superimposible mirror images‚ much the same as one’s left and right hands are the same

therefore don’t attract additional bonds. 5.Isomers are compounds made up of the same number of atoms and the same type of elements but configured differently‚ giving them different functions. There are 3 types of isomers‚ 1. Structural isomers differ in the arrangement of their bonds. 2. Geometric isomers have different arrangement around a double bond due to the double bond’s inflexibility for atoms to rotate around it. 3. Enantiomers isomers are mirror images of each other due to the arrangement

Introduction The linkage isomers may arise when one or more of the ligand ca coordinate to the metal in more then one way‚ e.g. in NO2 two oxygen atoms are potential donor site. Such a ligand is ambidentate. The following reactions show how linkage isomers can be prepared. [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2(s) + dilNH3(aq) → [Co(NH3)5(OH2)]Cl2 [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2 + NaNO2 + conc. HCl → [Co(NH3)5(NO2-N)]Cl2 (yellow or orange-brown) [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2 + NaNO2 → [Co(NH3)5(NO2-O)]Cl2 (red/ salmon-pink crystal) [Co(NH3)5(NO2-O)]Cl2

gives way to less steric strain. When the cyclohexanes are poly-substituted‚ not all the isomers can occupy all equatorial positions‚ yet the most stable isomer will have substituents in equatorial positions. The trans isomers‚ compared to the cis isomers have the greatest energy. Structures C and F’s cis isomers are less thermodynamically stable than their trans. The cis and trans isomer are not the same isomer in different structural conformations‚ and nor are they able to readily convert by rotating

available preparations of dobutamine are a racemic mixture of (+) and (–) isomers and have complex pharmacological effects. While both isomers are full agonists at β1 and β2 receptors their effects on alpha receptors are contrasting. The (–) isomer‚ a potent agonist at α1 receptors is capable of causing significant pressor effects. However‚ (+) isomer is a potent α1 receptor antagonist‚ which can block the effects of (–) isomer.

Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen Organic chemical compounds contain a vast number of isomers‚ molecules with the same molecular formula but different atomic arrangement‚ of which there are three types: structural‚ geometric and optical. The most closely-linked of isomers are optical isomers‚ which differ only by the three-dimensional placement of the molecule’s attachments‚ which renders its mirror images to be non-superimposable. The presence of optical isomerism within a molecule is determined by

In this experiment‚ 5.281g of trans isomers of [Co(en)2Cl2]Cl was synthesized from 12.249g of CoCl2▪6H2O. First‚ CoCl2▪6H2O was reacted with ethlenediamine (NH2CH2CH2NH2) that formed [Co(en)2(H2O)2]Cl. Then the [Co(en)2(H2O)2]Cl was reacted with H2O2 to change the cobalt’s charge to cobalt(III) from cobalt(II). Finally HCl was added into the solution to form [Co(en)2Cl2]Cl. The percent yield was 45.51%.To synthesis trans isomers of [Co(en)2Cl2]Cl‚ distilled water was first mixed with CoCl2▪6H2O‚
