correct, the assumed conguration of the two enantiomers of glyceraldehyde must also be correct. As such, the conguration of all other compounds derived by correlation with glyceraldehyde must be correct ones. Thus the relative conguration assigned to
d-(–)-glyceric acid, l-(–)-lactic acid (discussed earlier), carbohydrates
and a large number of other compounds actually represent their absolute conguration.
The absolute congurations of some simple but stereochemically important compounds are given below

3.16 SPECIFICATION OF CONFIGURATION BY R AND S NOTATIONS
Cahn, Ingold and Prelog suggested a very simple procedure to specify a particular conguration in terms of prexes R or S. The letter R is taken from the latin word rectus, meaning ‘right, and S from sinister, meaning ‘left’. The procedure involves the following two steps:
Step 1: The four atoms or groups of atoms bonded to the chiral centre are assigned a sequence of priorities in accordance with a set of rules known as sequence rules.

The sequence rules are as follows:
1. If all the four atoms directly attached to the chiral centre are different from one another, sequence of priorities is determined by atomic number. The atom of highest atomic number gets the highest priority
while the one with the lowest atomic number comes last in order of priority. For example, in the compound 1-bromo-1-chloro-ethane, CH
2. If two or more atoms directly attached to the chiral centre have the same atomic number, the relative priorities may be xed by comparing the next atoms in the groups. If even this does not solve the problem, the comparison may be extended to the next atom and so on. For example, in sec-butyl alcohol,

are decided as follows. Each of these groups is linked to the

C, H and H. Since carbon has a higher atomic number than hydrogen, C2h5 gets higher priority.
3. If a group has an atom X linked to some other atom by double or triple bond, X is considered
equivalent to two or three such atoms. For instance, if we compare the groups,
and –Ch2OH,
the former gets higher priority as the next atoms in it are equivalent to 2O, and H while in CH2Oh
they are O and 2h.
It may be noted, however, that if in a group two or three atoms of X (are separately linked to
some atom through single bonds, such a group would get priority over the group containing doubly
or triply bonded X. For example, let us compare the groups
these groups, the next atoms will be taken as C, C and H. However, in

As such, the atoms next to the carbon attached to chiral centre are treated as C, C and C.
Step 2: After deciding the sequence of priorities, the molecule is imagined to be in a position where the group of lowest priority is directed away from us. Now, we look at the arrangement of remaining groups in decreasing order of their priorities. If in doing so, the eye travels in clockwise direction, the conguration is specied as R (Latin: rectus 5 right). If, on the other hand, the eye travels in anticlockwise direction, the conguration is specied as S (Latin: sinister 5 left).
Let us illustrate the above rules by considering some specic examples:
1. Lactic acid, ch3ch(oh)cooh: The sequence of priorities is OH, COOH, CH3 and H. Therefore,
the specic conguration may be designated as follows:

3.16.1 Configuration on the Basis of Projection Formulae
While assigning conguration to a stereoisomer on the basis of projection formula, the procedure is essentially the same as in case of three-dimensional formulae. However, if the group of lowest priority is pointing towards us (i.e. bonded horizontally), an additional step is required. In such cases, the given
formula is converted into another projection formula by making two interchanges so that the group or atom
of lowest priority is placed vertically downwards or upwards. Then the conguration is assigned following the usual procedure:

Each chiral centre in this molecule has the same set of four groups attached to it. The sequence of

For compounds with two chiral centres, the maximum number of configurational isomers possible is four, based on the 2n rule. Since each chiral centre may have an R- or S-configuration, the isomers possible include RR, SS, RS and SR. The RS and SR isomers are nonsuperimposable mirror images and hence are enantiomers. The same relationship exists for the RR and SS isomers. The relationship between each member of an enantiomeric pair and each member of the other enantiomeric pair is diastereomeric; they are nonsuperimposable mirror images. Thus the RS isomer is a diastereomer of the RR and SS isomers, and the SS isomer is a diastereomer of the RS and SR isomers.

3.17 GEOMETRICAL ISOMERISM
Geometrical isomerism is a general phenomenon and is shown by any molecule which can assume rigid
conguration due to hindered rotation in a portion of the molecule. The hindered rotation may be about a
double bond or a single bond in part of the molecule.
3.17.1 Geometrical Isomerism or Carbon–Carbon Double Bond
This isomerism is mostly shown by such compounds that contain at least one carbon–carbon double bond and in which each of the doubly bonded carbon atoms have same or different sets of two unlike atoms or groups.
Thus compounds of the type abC 5 Cab or abC 5 Cxy show
geometrical isomerism.
The relative positions of the atoms or groups attached to the
doubly bonded carbon atoms get xed up because of hindered rotation about a double band. This is explained as follows:
The carbon–carbon double bond consists of one sigma and one pi bond. The (p) bond is formed by the sideways overlapping of unhybridized p-orbitals of two carbon atoms above and below
the plane of the bond. Because of this type of overlapping,

Geometric isomerism was first defined by Wislicenus in 1887. This isomerism occur in only those compounds where rotation is restricted by double bonds or ring systems. Geometric isomers are not optically active and hence do not rotate the plane of polarized light even if they also contain a chiral centre.
rotation around carbon–carbon double bond is strongly hindered as explained below.
If the doubly bonded carbon atoms are rotated with respect to each other, sideways overlapping of
p-orbitals will not be possible and thus molecular orbitals get destroyed. We know that 260 kJ of energy is
required for the cleavage of bond, which is not available under ordinary conditions. Thus rotation around double bond gets hindered. Therefore, hindered rotation of carbon atoms about double bond is the essential and sufcient criterion for geometric isomerism.
Due to hindered rotation around carbon–carbon double bond, the relative positions of the atoms or groups attached to the doubly bonded carbon atom gets xed in space giving rise to two distinct isomeric forms. For example, 2-butene, H3ChC5ChCh3 can exist in the following two isomeric forms:

Isomers in which similar atoms or groups lie on the same side of double bond are called the cis-isomers (latin cis 5 on same side), and the isomers in which the similar atoms or groups lie on the opposite sides of double bond are called trans-isomers (latin trans 5 across).
Such isomers which have the same molecular formula, same structural formula but differ in the relative
spatial arrangement of atoms or groups about the double bond are called geometrical isomers and the phenomenon is known as geometrical isomerism or cis–trans isomerism.
Maleic acid and fumaric acid are important examples of unsaturated dicarboxylic acids, which exhibit geometrical isomerism. These two isomers are shown below:
167
Both these isomers differ not only in physical but also in chemical properties. For example, maleic acid readily forms an anhydride but fumaric acid does not. Maleic acid may be converted into fumaric acid, when its aqueous solution is heated with a small amount of hydrochloric acid. Fumaric acid may be converted
into maleic acid by irradiation with ultraviolet light. The greater ease of anhydride formation indicates that maleic acid is the cis-isomer. anhydride formation is not possible in fumaric acid (trans-isomer) as the two carboxylic groups are too far apart. The melting point of maleic acid is 130°C while fumaric acid melts at
302°C. The dipole moment of maleic acid is quite high while that of fumaric acid is zero.
Geometrical isomerism is commonly found in ethylene derivative in which each of the doubly bonded
carbon atom is linked with two different groups. Some more examples are given below:

3.17.2 Configuration of Geometrical Isomers on the Bases of Properties
Geometrical isomers have different physical properties such as melting points, boiling points, solubilities, dipole moments, etc. Like other diastereomers, geometrical isomers have similar but not essentially identical chemical properties. These properties are employed in determining the conguration of these isomers.
There are no general methods to ascertain the conguration of geometrical isomers. The methods
employed depend on the nature of compound under consideration. These facts are used to ascertain the
conguration of the isomers. The following methods are employed to determine whether a given compound
is a cis- or a trans-isomer.
By studying their physical properties: It has been found that generally a cis-isomer has low melting
1.
point, high boiling point, higher density, greater solubility in organic solvents, higher heat of combustion and hydrogenation, higher refractive index, higher viscosity and higher dissociation constant (if an acid)
than a trans-isomer. Some of these important physical properties and their applications in ascertaining the
congurations are discussed below.
a. Melting points: The trans-isomer, in general, has a higher melting point than the corresponding cis-
isomer. This is due to the fact that cis-isomer is unsymmetrical and does not show close packing in the crystal lattice. On the other hand, trans-isomer is more symmetrical as the two similar atoms or
groups lie on the other side of the double bond. Therefore, these molecules pack well in the crystal lattice. As a result, the intermolecular forces of attraction of trans-isomer are much stronger than
those holding the cis-isomer. Hence, the melting point of trans-isomer is higher than that of the corresponding cis-isomer. For example, maleic acid (cis-isomer) has a m.p. of 130°C while fumaric acid (trans-isomer) melts at 302°C.

C h a P T E r 3 Stereochemistry
b. Solubility: As discussed above, molecules of cis-isomer are less closely packed and thus have
weak intermolecular forces of attraction in the crystal lattice than the corresponding trans-isomer. Therefore, cis-isomers should have higher solubilities than those of the corresponding trans-isomers. This is evident from the solubilities (in water at 20°C) of maleic acid (79.0 g/100 ml) and fumaric acid (0.7 g/100 ml).
c. Dipole moments: It has been found that generally cis-isomers have higher dipole moments as compared
to trans-isomers, which have zero or nearly zero dipole moments. This is due to the orientations of the two dipoles of cis-isomer at some angle and thereby having a denite dipole moment. On the other hand, the dipoles of trans-isomer are in the opposite directions and thus cancels out. As a result, cis-isomer will have some nite value of dipole moments but trans-isomer will have zero dipole moments.
It is evident from the dipole moment of acetylene dibromide that trans-isomer has zero dipole
moment as compared to cis-isomer, which has a dipole moment of 1.35 D.
d. Boiling points: In general, the boiling point of a cis-isomer is higher than that of the corresponding
trans-isomer. It is due to the more polar nature (due to higher dipole moments) of cis-isomer than the corresponding trans-isomer.
As a result, dipole–dipole interactions are comparatively stronger in case of cis-isomer than the corresponding trans-isomer. Consequently, the cis-isomer has a higher boiling point than the corresponding trans-isomer. For example, cis-dichloroethene boils at 60°C whereas trans-isomer boils at 48°C.
169
e. Studying their X-ray diffraction pattern: This method depends upon the fact that the diffraction of
X-rays by a crystalline substance produces a pattern on a photographic plate, which can be used to
calculate the relative positions of atoms in a molecule.
2. By studying their chemical properties: Chemical properties of the cis- and trans-isomers are related
to the relative positions of the two groups, each of the two doubly bonded atoms. These provide more
dependable methods than those provided by physical properties.
a. By cyclization method: Crystallization occurs easily if the two reacting groups are close together.
Since in cis-isomers, the reacting groups are quite near to each other, they result in the formation of a cyclic compound. But in trans-isomer, the two reacting groups are far apart and, therefore, are

unable to react mutually to form a cyclic derivative. This fact is utilized to assign conguration to cis–trans isomers. For example, when maleic acid is heated, it forms maleic anhydride. Anhydride
formation does not take place with fumaric acid.
b. By converting into compounds of known conguration: In some cases, a geometrical isomer can
be changed into a compound of known conguration. It is presumed that during such a change, there is no isomerization. For example, trichloro crotonic acid can be converted into fumaric acid on hydrolysis. Hence, the trichloro crotonic acid must be a trans-isomer. It further gives crotonic
acid on reduction. The other isomer of trichloro crotonic acid does not give fumaric acid and on reduction it gives isocrotonic acid. Hence, it is cis-isomer.
c. From the formation of the type of optical isomer: Both the forms of ethylene dicarboxylic acid,
maleic and fumaric acid on hydroxylation give an optically inactive form of tartaric acid. One obtained from maleic acid (cis-isomer) is meso-tartaric acid and while the other obtained from fumaric acid (trans) is racemic (±) tartaric acid.
