Stereochemistry:
is the sciences that study three-dimensional structure of a molecule.

Dr. Kurls Ekram 3


The Two Major Classes of Isomers
Isomerism : Compounds with the same molecular formula but different structures.
For Ex: C2H6O → CH3CH2OH or CH3OCH3
There are two types of isomers

Constitutional isomers Stereoisomers


Compounds have the same Isomers that have the same
molecular formula but have connectivity but differ in the
different structure (connectivity). arrangement of their atoms in space.
For Ex: C2H6O CH3CH2OH Or CH3OCH3

1) Chain (skeletal) isomers Geometrical isomers Optical isomers


2) Position isomers Or
3) Functional isomers
4) Metameric isomers Conformational Configurational
5) Tautomerism isomers isomers

Constitutional isomers properties
For Ex: C2H6O CH3CH2OH Or CH3OCH3

❖ different Commane and IUPAC names.

❖ different physical properties, so they are separable by physical


techniques such as distillation. different in boiling point

❖ different chemical properties. They behave differently or give different


products in chemical reactions.

Dr. Kurls Ekram 5


1) Chain isomers (Skeletal isomers):
compounds different in their carbon skeleton.

Ex1 : C4H10

Ex2: C5H12

Q: draw all constitutional isomers for formula C6H12.

Dr. Kurls Ekram 6


2) Positional isomers:
compounds differ in the position of the functional group (Position of bonds).

Ex1: C3H7Br

Ex2: C3H9N

Ex3: C4H9OH

Dr. Kurls Ekram 7


Ex4: C6H8O2

Ex5: C7H7Cl

Dr. Kurls Ekram 8


3) Functional group isomerism
compounds differ in the type of their functional group.

Ex1: C3H6O

EX2: C2H6O

Q: Draw all Constitutional isomers for formula C3H6O , C3H6O2.

Dr. Kurls Ekram 9


4) Metamorism (Metameric isomerism)
compounds have the same functional group but differ in the kind of substituent on its sides.

Ex1: Ethers with MF C4H10O.

Ex1: ketone with MF C5H10O.

Dr. Kurls Ekram 10


5) Tautomerism (tautomers)
Compound occurs as a mixture of 2 function groups isomer, in equilibrium with
each other as a result of reversible migration of a hydrogen atom.
Types of Tautomerism
A) Daid tautomerism (Died system)
1,2 Hydrogen migrates between 2 adjacent atoms

B) Triad tautomerism (Tried system)

1,3 migration

Dr. Kurls Ekram 11


Factors which increase % of enol form than 1:%
❖ Conjugation
❖ Intramolecular H-B
❖ Increase acidity of alpha –hydrogen

Ex1: Acetylacetone , 1,3-cyclohexandione

This hydrogen is Stabilizied by


more acidic so • Formation of hydrogen bond
increase the percent • Formation of six-membered ring
of enol form • Resonance conjugated system

Dr. Kurls Ekram 12


Ex2: Ethyl acetoacetate

The lone pair on oxygen decrease the acidity (decrease the acidity of hydrogen CH2) so decrease
the enol form

Ex3: 1,3-cyclohexandione
