Organic stereochemistry

The priority rules in Table 5 1 were developed by R S Cahn and Sir Christopher In gold (England) and Vladimir Prelog (Switzerland) in the context of a different aspect of organic stereochemistry they will appear again in Chapter 7...

In organic stereochemistry the terms center of chirality or center of asymmetry are often used usually they refer to an asymmetrically substituted C atom. These terms should be avoided since they are contradictions in themselves a chiral object by definition has no center (the only kind of center existing in symmetry is the inversion center).

These models, however, are less instructive because the authors incorporate insufficient information from organic stereochemistry.

In brief, we can say that the study of macromolecular compounds has introduced a new dimension into organic stereochemistry. This is true not only in the spatial sense if one considers the shape of the macromolecule, but also in the time sense if one examines the process of polymerization and the transmission of stereoregularity and chirality within each macromolecule. Finally, the study of macromolecules has necessitated the introduction of concepts and methods (e.g., the statistical approach), which are usually not pertinent to the stereochemistry of low molecular weight compounds (4).
