In organic chemistry , the Cahn–Ingold–Prelog ( CIP ) sequence rules (also the CIP priority convention ; named after Robert Sidney Cahn , Christopher Kelk Ingold , and Vladimir Prelog ) are a standard process to completely and unequivocally name a stereoisomer of a molecule. The purpose of the CIP system is to assign an R or S descriptor to each stereocenter and an E or Z descriptor to each double bond so that the configuration of the entire molecule can be specified uniquely by including the descriptors in its systematic name. A molecule may contain any number of stereocenters and any number of double bonds, and each usually gives rise to two possible isomers. A molecule with an integer n describing the number of stereocenters will usually have 2 stereoisomers , and 2 diastereomers each having an associated pair of enantiomers . The CIP sequence rules contribute to the precise naming of every stereoisomer of every organic molecule with all atoms of ligancy of fewer than 4 (but including ligancy of 6 as well, this term referring to the "number of neighboring atoms" bonded to a center).

102-469: A bond that has just been followed. A triple bond is handled the same way except that A and B are each connected to two phantom atoms of the other. If two substituents on an atom are geometric isomers of each other, the Z -isomer has higher priority than the E -isomer. A stereoisomer that contains two higher priority groups on the same face of the double bond ( cis ) is classified as "Z." The stereoisomer with two higher priority groups on opposite sides of
136-429: A carbon-carbon double bond ( trans ) is classified as "E." To handle a molecule containing one or more cycles , one must first expand it into a tree (called a hierarchical digraph ) by traversing bonds in all possible paths starting at the stereocenter. When the traversal encounters an atom through which the current path has already passed, a phantom atom is generated in order to keep the tree finite. A single atom of

272-474: A rectus assignment is formatted as ( R )-3-methyl-1-pentene. A practical method of determining whether an enantiomer is R or S is by using the right-hand rule : one wraps the molecule with the fingers in the direction 1 → 2 → 3 . If the thumb points in the direction of the fourth substituent, the enantiomer is R ; otherwise, it is S . It is possible in rare cases that two substituents on an atom differ only in their absolute configuration ( R or S ). If
306-416: A role assigning faces to trigonal molecules such as ketones . A nucleophile in a nucleophilic addition can approach the carbonyl group from two opposite sides or faces. When an achiral nucleophile attacks acetone , both faces are identical and there is only one reaction product. When the nucleophile attacks butanone , the faces are not identical ( enantiotopic ) and a racemic product results. When
340-487: A system for ranking priority of the groups attached to each stereocenter. This procedure, often known as the sequence rules , is the heart of the CIP system. The overview in this section omits some rules that are needed only in rare cases. If two groups differ only in isotopes , then the larger atomic mass is used to set the priority. If an atom, A, is double-bonded to another atom, then atom A should be treated as though it
374-410: Is "connected to the same atom twice". An atom that is double-bonded has a higher priority than an atom that is single bonded. When dealing with double bonded priority groups, one is allowed to visit the same atom twice as one creates an arc. When B is replaced with a list of attached atoms, A itself, but not its "phantom", is excluded in accordance with the general principle of not doubling back along

Nevertheless, though the IUPAC documentation presents a thorough introduction, it includes the caution that "it is essential to study the original papers, especially the 1966 paper, before using the sequence rule for other than fairly simple cases." A recent paper argues for changes to some of the rules (sequence rules 1b and 2) to address certain molecules for which
612-409: The configuration must be specified. Without the presence of a non-covalent interaction, a compound is achiral . Some professionals have proposed a new rule to account for this. This rule states that "non-covalent interactions have a fictitious number between 0 and 1" when assigning priority. Compounds in which this occurs are referred to as coordination compounds . Some spiro compounds, for example
646-424: The correct descriptors were unclear. However, a different problem remains: in rare cases, two different stereoisomers of the same molecule can have the same CIP descriptors, so the CIP system may not be able to unambiguously name a stereoisomer, and other systems may be preferable. The steps for naming molecules using the CIP system are often presented as: R / S and E / Z descriptors are assigned by using
680-421: The descriptors are opposite, they are enantiomers. A meso compound is an achiral molecule, despite having two or more stereogenic centers . A meso compound is superposable on its mirror image, therefore it reduces the number of stereoisomers predicted by the 2 rule. This occurs because the molecule obtains a plane of symmetry that causes the molecule to rotate around the central carbon–carbon bond. One example
714-406: The descriptors are opposite: ( R , R ) and ( S , S ) are enantiomers, as are ( R , S ) and ( S , R ). Diastereomers have at least one descriptor in common; for example ( R , S ) and ( R , R ) are diastereomers, as are ( S , R ) and ( S , S ). This holds true also for compounds having more than two stereocenters: if two stereoisomers have at least one descriptor in common, they are diastereomers. If all

#1732765043609748-448: The example displayed on the right, the compound acetophenone is viewed from the Re -face. Hydride addition as in a reduction process from this side will form the ( S )-enantiomer and attack from the opposite Si -face will give the ( R )-enantiomer. However, one should note that adding a chemical group to the prochiral center from the Re -face will not always lead to an ( S )-stereocenter, as
782-423: The lowest-numbered (according to IUPAC systematic numbering) stereogenic center is given the R * descriptor. To designate two anomers the relative stereodescriptors alpha (α) and beta (β) are used. In the α anomer the anomeric carbon atom and the reference atom do have opposite configurations ( R , S ) or ( S , R ), whereas in the β anomer they are the same ( R , R ) or ( S , S ). Stereochemistry also plays
816-464: The nucleophile is a chiral molecule diastereoisomers are formed. When one face of a molecule is shielded by substituents or geometric constraints compared to the other face the faces are called diastereotopic . The same rules that determine the stereochemistry of a stereocenter ( R or S ) also apply when assigning the face of a molecular group. The faces are then called the Re -face and Si -face . In
850-418: The observer. If the substituents are numbered from 1 (highest priority) to 4 (lowest priority), then the sense of rotation of a curve passing through 1, 2 and 3 distinguishes the stereoisomers . In a configurational isomer , the lowest priority group (most times hydrogen) is positioned behind the plane or the hatched bond going away from the reader. The highest priority group will have an arc drawn connecting to
884-417: The original molecule may appear in many places (some as phantoms, some not) in the tree. A chiral sp hybridized isomer contains four different substituents. All four substituents are assigned prorites based on its atomic numbers. After the substituents of a stereocenter have been assigned their priorities, the molecule is oriented in space so that the group with the lowest priority is pointed away from
918-430: The relative priorities of these substituents need to be established, R takes priority over S . When this happens, the descriptor of the stereocenter is a lowercase letter ( r or s ) instead of the uppercase letter normally used. For double bonded molecules, Cahn–Ingold–Prelog priority rules (CIP rules) are followed to determine the priority of substituents of the double bond. If both of the high priority groups are on
952-495: The rest of the groups, finishing at the group of third priority. An arc drawn clockwise, has the rectus ( R ) assignment. An arc drawn counterclockwise, has the sinister ( S ) assignment. The names are derived from the Latin for 'right' and 'left', respectively. When naming an organic isomer, the abbreviation for either rectus or sinister assignment is placed in front of the name in parentheses. For example, 3-methyl-1-pentene with
986-541: The rules of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), the official body that defines organic nomenclature , in 1974. The rules have since been revised, most recently in 2013, as part of the IUPAC book Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry . The IUPAC presentation of the rules constitute the official, formal standard for their use, and it notes that "the method has been developed to cover all compounds with ligancy up to 4... and… [extended to
1020-532: The same answer) contains atoms a and b adjacent to the spiro carbon, and the other contains a′ and b′. The configuration at C may then be assigned as for any other stereocentre. The following are examples of application of the nomenclature. If a compound has more than one chiral stereocenter, each center is denoted by either R or S . For example, ephedrine exists in (1 R ,2 S ) and (1 S ,2 R ) stereoisomers, which are distinct mirror-image forms of each other, making them enantiomers . This compound also exists as
1054-419: The same side of the double bond ( cis configuration ), then the stereoisomer is assigned the configuration Z ( zusammen, German word meaning "together"). If the high priority groups are on opposite sides of the double bond ( trans configuration ), then the stereoisomer is assigned the configuration E ( entgegen , German word meaning "opposed") In some cases where stereogenic centers are formed,
