Key Concepts

Stereoisomers

Stereoisomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms, but differ in the three-dimensional orientations of their atoms. This category includes both enantiomers and diastereomers, and the specific spatial arrangement of atoms significantly influences the molecules' properties and reactions.

Chirality

Chirality refers to the geometric property where a molecule is not superimposable on its mirror image. Molecules with chiral centers—which are typically carbon atoms bonded to four different substituents—can exhibit different spatial arrangements leading to stereoisomerism, including enantiomers and diastereomers.

Diastereomers

Diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other. Unlike enantiomers, which are non-superimposable mirror images, diastereomers have different physical and chemical properties and do not interconvert by simple reflection. They arise when molecules have multiple stereocenters and differ in configuration at one or more, but not all, of these centers.
