    Stereoselective & Stereospecific Reactions

    Uploaded by

    Raja Raja
    The document discusses stereochemistry and different types of stereochemical reactions. Stereoselective reactions produce an unequal mixture of isomers from a single reactant, favoring the formation of one isomer over others. Stereospecific reactions produce different isomeric products from different isomeric reactants, with each reactant leading to distinct, opposite products. All stereospecific reactions are stereoselective, but not vice versa. Stereospecificity is a property of the reaction mechanism, while stereoselectivity is a property of the reactant.

    STEREOSELECTIVE & STEREOSPECIFIC REACTIONS

    Stereochemistry plays an important role in chemical reactions. There are many reactions of chiral
    and achiral molecules and the formation of product in such case is controlled by stereochemical
    consideration such as regioselective, Stereoselective and stereospecific reactions.
    Stereoselective reactions: Stereoselectivity is the property of a chemical reaction that yields an
    unequal mixture of isomers from a single reactant. It may be partial, where the formation of one
    isomer is favoured over the other, or it may be total where only one isomer is formed.
    Stereospecific reactions: Stereospecificty is the property of a reaction mechanism that yields
    different isomeric products from different isomeric reactants, or which operates on only one (or a
    subset) of the isomers. That is, a given isomer leads to one product while another isomer leads to
    the opposite product.

    Few important points:


    (i) All stereospecific reactions are necessarily stereoselective, but the vice-versa is not true.
    (ii) A stereospecific mechanism specifies the stereo-chemical outcome of a given reactant, whereas
    a stereoselective reaction selects products from those made available by the same, non-specific
    mechanism acting on a given reactant. A consequence of these definitions is that if a reaction is
    carried out on a compound that has no stereosisomers, it cannot be stereospecific, but
    stereoselective.
    (iii) Stereospecificity is the property of a reaction mechanism, whereas stereoselectivity is the
    property of reactant.
