Stereochemistry: Crash Course Organic Chemistry #8

[@Keriously]

R for 'right handed' S for 'shleft handed'

[@ShirinRose]

'Sinistra' is Latin/Italian for 'left', but I don't know if that's where S enantiomers get their name from...

[@ShirinRose]

I got curious and checked Wikipedia, which had this to say: "The R/S system is an important nomenclature system used to denote distinct enantiomers. Another system is based on prefix notation for optical activity: (+)- and (−)- or d- and l-. The Latin words for left are laevus and sinister, and the word for right is dexter (or rectus in the sense of correct or virtuous). The English word right is a cognate of rectus. This is the origin of the L/D and S/R notations, and the employment of prefixes levo- and dextro- in common names." 🤓

[@AelwynMr]

Sinister/rectus = left/right in Latin. The other convention is L/D from laevus/dexter, which basically means the same thing. More litterally, when not referred to a direction rectus=right/correct/straight, sinister=opposite/unfavorable, laevus=unable and dexter=able/expert.

[@psibarpsi]

Recter and Sinister That's what it was if I remember correctly. Anyway, I am horrible at O-chem.

[@anne12876]

Haha! I'm a registered chemist. I did my speciality in organic chemistry. I switched to environment after my undergrad (graduated in 2009). Never did organic chemistry since. I can't believe it used to be second nature to me. What 10 years of not practicing something can do!!

[@BenTajer89]

Lol, Biologist here, I feel like in all of the Ochem I was taught (highschool and undergrad) nobody ever explained how to determine L and R enantiomers. I really appreciate the way this course really goes hard into the foundations.

[@carlosrodriguez8988]

Wow, I'm just a student :/

[@anne12876]

@@BenTajer89 Funny because I was taught how to determine R/S enantiomers as part of my Organic Chemistry class during my last year of college (the equivalent of the first year of college in the US, we have a different school system) and as part of my Organic Chemistry 101 during my first semester at university (it would be the second year for a US student), which is a mandatory class for both chemistry and biochemistry students.

I don't really understand what Ive just learned. But I like these feeling of knowing something new

[@s3cr3tpassword]

This reminds me of a Philips K Dick short story. Physicist were studying extra dimensions, while the machine was on, a janitor walked into it and they thought he died. But it turns out the janitor was unharmed. They decided to keep a close eye on him. When the next day's newspaper came in, the janitor exclaimed that he couldn't read the paper, the letters and printed in mirror image. He also had a notebook on him, all the letters were also mirror-inverted. As far as doctors could tell, he was healthy. Throughout the months he was well fed but losing weight and becoming malnourished. The scientist realized the machine chirally flipped his entire body. Meaning he couldn't process normal food. They also figured it would be too expensive to pass food through the machine to feed one person and they arent sure if the janitor could survive another trip through the machine. Good read, would recommend.

[@arroyod1997]

When she said that was easy i freaked alittle, im here for fun but i usally have to watch these videos 2-3 times

[@anne12876]

For the R/S nomenclature, there's a rule of thumb. Point your thumb in the direction of the constituent with the lowest priority (#4). Then, wrap your hand around rotating along the axis of your thumb starting with the constituent with the highest priority (#1) following with #2 and #3. Your wrist should hit #1, your palm should hit #2 and your fingers #3. If you use your right hand it's a R isomer and if you use your left hand it's a S isomer.

[@tryingmabest]

*WHY ARE WE NOT INVESTING IN L-GLUCOSE RESEARCH!*

[@francoislacombe9071]

Why aren't you? There's a literal fortune just waiting to be grabbed.😜

[@ibrudiiv]

cause aspartame is cheaper and kills us faster

[@nerdfighter2004]

Since making L-Glucose is expensive and virtually has 0 calories, why don't they just sell it to high-end restaurant? Disclaimer: I'm not an expert

[@francoislacombe9071]

Did a little research, it looks like L-Glucose is also a laxative, which probably makes it unsuitable for use as a sweetener. Oh well. 😕

[@prathameshhalade8230]

Because a lot of research has already been done and maybe some still going on. For now, eating gold would be more affordable than eating L-Glucose. Experiments of obtaining it from L-Glucose isomers like L lactose and L fructose have been tried, but they are still expensive. Anyway, we have hundreds of sugar substitutes already, many are natural and few also provides health benefits like stevia which also reduces blood pressure. Sucralose is artificial and also heat stable but low calorie (which is good). Aspartame is also good to go unless you have phenylketonuria. Saccharin is also a zero calorie sweetener.

[@nafrost2787]

13:31 I'm assuming that the 2 chiral centers you are referring to are the two carbons who are bonded to chloride. But I thought that the definition of a chiral center, is a carbon which is bonded to 4 different groups, and those carbons are bonded to 4 groups, but 2 of them are carbons, so they are bonded to 3 different groups in total. So what is the definition of a chiral center? Is it a carbon that doesn't have a superimposable mirror image?

[@spheal4754]

The flowchart at 12:58 doesn't work for methylcyclopentane. It doesn't have more than one chiral center, so the chart would call it chiral when it's actually achiral because of its plane of symmetry.

[@jonathanodude6660]

methylcyclopropane does not have a chiral centre

[@jamesgalante7967]

There might be a mistake at 7:44. She says “2(R)-butan-2-ol” but the visual just says “(R)-butan-2-ol”. Same with the other enantiomer

[@crashcourse]

Good catch! Deboki was saying 2R to really reinforce the chiral center is at the 2-carbon. However, the IUPAC doesn’t require the additional 2 in the name, and we wanted to put up the IUPAC-accepted nomenclature. Both are correct!

[@HorzaPanda]

According to your flow chart at 12:55 methylcyclopentane is chiral? There's a chiral centre, there is only one, so that takes us to chiral?

[@crashcourse]

This is definitely tricky! Methylcyclopentane doesn’t have a chiral carbon, so the answer to the first question is actually “no”! We’ve drawn it with the solid wedge to show how the methyl group can point up in 3D space, but it’s not on a chiral carbon. To check this out for yourself, start on the carbon you think is chiral. Then, walk your fingers around the ring--you’ll see that carbon is bonded to a CH2 group, then another CH2 group, and then your fingers meet up. Since that carbon is bonded to two identical groups, it is achiral. Cyclic compounds can be really tricky, so thanks for leaving us a comment so we can try to help you understand it better!

Does the method of determining the R/S naming correspond to the optical activity of the enantiomers? So all R compounds rotate polarized light in the same direction, and all S's the other?

Nope! they have nothing to do with each other.

[@yourlocalsadboi6299]

I watch these for fun

[@vdkmdd]

I searched chiral on wikipedia and read the first paragraph after watching this video and not understanding a word, Now that was some very complicated way of saying: can I rotate a mirrored molecule back to the original molecule. If yes achiral, otherwise chiral. I also still don't understand the S and R thing. When viewing clockwise and starting at 1. I can have the following sequences 1,2,3,4 and 1, 4, 3, 2 , so those are S and R but I can also have 1,2,4,3 which is then something? Or is there a reason why 1,2,4,3 is not possible?

[@Quintinohthree]

The problem is you've got all 4 around the center. 4 should be behind the center so you can count 1, 2, 3 only.
