Alkyl halides - ChiralityAlkyl halides - Chirality

Alkyl halides are not very significant biologically, but are useful to introduce the concept of chirality.

“Chiral” - from Greek meaning “hand”.

Look at your left and right hands Same gross physical characteristics Four fingers, one thumb, one palm etc.

ChiralityChirality

The left and right hands have the same gross physical characteristics, but are different!

You cannot wear a left glove on your right hand.

The left and right hands are mirror images of each other.

Two molecules may also be mirror images of each other.

ChiralityChirality

Chirality arises in organic molecules as each group bound to a carbon occupies a specific place in space.

ChiralityChirality

Chiral compounds are special types of isomers.

They have the same molecular formulae and the same functional groups attached to them.

They differ only in the 3D arrangement of those groups.

Copyright Steven Bottle, Chemistry, QUT, 1995 26

ChiralityChirality

Non-superimposable mirror images are special isomers called ENANTIOMERS.

ChiralityChirality

It is important to realise that each enantiomer has exactly the same gross physical properties as its mirror image.

MB, BP, solubility, reactivity etc. are all the same.

However they interact with polarised light differently.

Copyright Steven Bottle, Chemistry, QUT, 1995 28

ChiralityChirality

Chiral substances are called optically active because they rotate the plane of polarised light.

Each enantiomer rotates the plane of polarised light in the opposite direction.

ChiralityChirality If a substance rotates the light

clockwise (as you look at the source) it is called Dextrorotatory and the symbol (+) is placed in front of its name.

Enantiomers that rotate the light in the opposite direction are called Levorotatory and have the symbol (-).

ChiralityChirality

Importance of Chirality. The body (and indeed Nature) is filled

with chiral molecules, especially enzymes, which will only react with molecules of the same chirality.

Think of shaking hands. It must be done left to right or it won’t

work.

ChiralityChirality There is no real need to draw the

reflection to ascertain the structure of the two enantiomers. Chiral compounds exist because of the

differing positions of the four groups in space.

Switching two of the groups will produce the enantiomer for simple systems.

This only makes enantiomers for compounds containing one chiral carbon.

Remember enantiomers are non-superimposable mirror images.

Let us look at an example that demonstrates this.
