Degree of Unsaturation (DU)
The main objective of an organic chemist is the determination of the structure of a
new organic compound which has been obtained in pure state either from a natural
source or synthesised in the laboratory.
In order to establish the correct structure of an organic compound,
necessary to
detect skeleton of compound, elements and functional groups present in the organic
compound,
CHa, CH
saturated open _ unsaturated
chain alkane (ou=1
(OU = 0)
Deficiency of hydrogen generates unsaturation in
the compound to compute this unsaturation is
called DU.
How many bond cleavage give open chain
saturated compound is DU of that compound.
Open chain saturated compound having DU = 0.
In compound unsaturation is observed in the
form of n-bonds & rings.

Thin lines indicate the bonds lying within the plane of paper.
‘The dotted lines indicate the bonds lying below the plane of paper. Such a representation is
called Wedge-Dash formula

OPTICAL ISOMERISM
a @
A substance which rotates the plane-polarised light towards right (in the clockwise
direction) is called dextrorotatory (Latin : dexter = right) and is usually represented
by the prefix d or (+). On the other hand, a substance which rotates the plane-
polarised light towards the left (in the anticlockwise direction) is called laevorotatory
(Latin : leaves = left) and is usually represented by the prefix ‘’ or (-).

Chirality of molecules and objects :
An inspection of the molecular structures of optically active compounds indicates that all
these compounds have Chiral* (or dissymmetric) molecules.
A molecule (or an object) is said to be chiral or dissymmetric, if it is not superimposable on
its mirror image, and the property of non-superimposability is called chirality.
On the other hand, a molecule (or an object) which is superimposable on its mirror image is
called achiral (non-dissymmetric or symmetric).
Specific rotation :

G Where Wis the optical rotation, / is the length of the tube in decimetre, C is the
concentration of the solu!
n in g mt", D is the wavelength of sodium light, and t is the
temperature.
Racemic forms and Enantiomeric Excess :
A sample of an optically active substance that consists of a single enantiomer is said to be
enantiomerically pure or to have an enantiomeric excess of 100%.
An enantiomerically pure sample of (S)-(+)-2-butanol shows a specific rotation of +13.52°. On
the other hand, a sample of (S)-(+)-2-butanol that contains less than an equimolar amount
of (R)-(-)-2-butanol will show a specific rotation that is less than +13.52° but greater than
0°. Such a sample is said to have an enantiomeric excess less than 100%. The enantiomeric
excess (ee) is defined as follows :
% Enatiomeric excess
_ moles of one enantiomer —moles of other enantiomer 155
. total moles of both enantiomers
% Enantiomeric excess = observed specific rotation __ 99
specific rotation of the enantiomer2
A mixture of the 2-butanol enantiomers showed a specific rotation of +6.76°.
We would then say that the enantiomeric excess of the (S)-(+)-2-butanol is

four different atoms or groups

RACEMIC MIXTURE Introduction {
The optical activity of a racemic mixture is due
to external compensation, i.e. the rotation » When equal amounts of
caused by molecules of one enantiomer is exactly two enantiomers are mixed
cancelled by an equal and opposite rotation together, it gives an optically
caused by the same number of molecules of the inactive form called racemic
Gther enantiomer mixture or modification.
+ It is denoted by using the
prefix + or di before the same

chemical reagents.
Example:
Lactic acid and Tartaric acid
Resolution of Racemic Mixture:
© Enantiomers have identical physical and
chemical properties except towards optically
active reagents, they cannot be separated
by the usual techniques such as fractional,
crystallisation, fractional _—_ distillation,
chromatography, etc. Therefore, special
methods are used to achieve their separation.
Some of these are listed below
i) Mechanical method
ii) Biological method
ili) Chemical methods (by making
diastereomers)
iv) Chromatographic

Diastereomeric method
These can be separated from one another
by conventional methods of separation of
compounds. The separated diastereoisomer is
then broken down to give pure enantiomers.

© Aracemic mixture can also be obtained chemically. The process by which one
enantiomer (+ or -) of an optically active compound is converted into a racemic
mixture is called racemisation. Racemisation can be carried out by heat, light or

© The process of separation of
racemic mixture into its (+)
and (-) enantiomers is called
resolution.
Introduction
* One of the most common
method is to allow a racemic
mixture to react with an
enantiomer of some other
compound. This changes a
racemic form into a mixture
of diastereomers which have
different solubilities and
melting and boiling points.

80.The importance of stereochemistry :
Chiral molecules can show their handiness in many ways, including the way they affects
human being. One enantiomeric form of a compound called limonene is primarily responsible
for the odor of oranges and the other enantiomer for the odor of lemons.
o All naturally occurring sugars, including the sugars that occur in DNA, are of
D-configuration. the yeast enzymes can specifically ferment D-glucose and not its
L-enantiomer.
© Stereochemistry also plays an important role in deciding the physiological properties of
compounds.
{-)-Nicotine is much more toxic than (+)-Nicotine, (+)-adrenaline is very active in
construction of blood vessels than (-)-adrenaline.
© Chirality is crucial for the effect of drugs as well. In majority of cases, only one enantiomer
is found to have the desired effect while the other isomer may be totally inactive or has.
an opposite effect.
Example :
It is the (8)-enantiomer of ibuprofen that has the pain-relieving action. (-)-Thyroxine, an
amino acid of thyroid gland, speeds up metabolic processes and causes nervousness and
loss of weight. Its enantiomer, (+)-thyroxine, has none of these effects but is used to lower
the cholesterol levels.
