  • Meso soup! Here we will see how compounds with multiple stereocenters may be achiral overall, if they have an internal plane of symmetry (meso compounds) or an inversion center. In addition, we will define and discuss diastereomers. Now where's that soup...

    Hi Dave! I have a question regarding the diastereomer part. My first question is - Why didn't you write -Br on the left side and -OH on the right in the mirror image of the molecule? And my second question is - Do the wedge bonds become dash bonds and vice versa in their respective mirror images? If yes, then, why?

    I like this - it’s all very clear.... except for what did you mean by rotate 180 degrees at the beginning when discussing trans 1,2-dicholorocyclohexane? I can’t seem to see it (although I can see there is no plane of symmetry within the compound, making it not identical to its mirror image ). Did you mean flip it over ? rotate?

  • @lakers4shoPSD
    @lakers4shoPSD 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    For the example compound at 03:21, I think if you rotate along the C-C single bond, you'll find a conformation that gives you the desired plane of symmetry, hence achiral.

    • @ProfessorDaveExplains
      @ProfessorDaveExplains  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      that's right, an inversion center is just another way of identifying it, but either way it's achiral!

    • @ProfessorDaveExplains
      @ProfessorDaveExplains  9 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      +Sandy Oliva an enantiomer is the precise mirror image of a molecule, so all the stereocenters are inverted. epimers are diastereomers with more than one chiral center, but differ in only one of those chiral centers. so if a molecule is RRRR, its enantiomer is SSSS, but an epimer of RRRR can have only one S, the rest must remain R.

    the comp had the centres in the orders R-S
    its mirror image would be S-R
    and on flipping in again , wouldnt it become R-S again..[otherwise the oh and br also wouldnt go into the plane so??]i dont get it
    nvm i was unaware of what the r and s actually meant and now its perfectly clear to me

    When you start talking about diastereomers the first example you use to show an enantiomers, shouldn't the Br and OH group change from in front of the plane to behind the plane which you have shown AND also have switched from the left to the right, IE switched places on the mirror image?

    But I thought that a chiral atom meant an atom with 4 different substituents, but in the first molecule (cycle) the carbon is connected to two carbons (and cl and hydrogen) ...? So it's achiral, right? Hmm, I'm a little confused right now.

    • @ProfessorDaveExplains
      @ProfessorDaveExplains  9 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Amira Lam. ah, but if you continue along, there eventually becomes a point of difference, as the carbon chains are not identical. if you keep moving and there is never a point of difference, then yes the carbon chains would be identical and it's not a chiral center, but in one direction there are just CH2's, and in the other direction you get to a carbon that also bears a chlorine, so that is a different group.
