54-453: Reverse triiodothyronine , also known as rT 3 , is an isomer of triiodothyronine (T 3 ). Reverse T 3 is the third-most common iodothyronine the thyroid gland releases into the bloodstream, at 0.9%; tetraiodothyronine (levothyroxine, T 4 ) constitutes 90% and T 3 is 9%. However, 95% of rT 3 in human blood is made elsewhere in the body, as enzymes remove a particular iodine atom from T 4 . The production of hormone by
108-403: A trans isomer where the two chlorines are on the same plane as the two carbons, but with oppositely directed bonds; and two gauche isomers, mirror images of each other, where the two − CH 2 Cl {\displaystyle {\ce {-CH2Cl}}} groups are rotated about 109° from that position. The computed energy difference between trans and gauche
162-399: A "parent" molecule (propane, in that case). There are also three structural isomers of the hydrocarbon C 3 H 4 {\displaystyle {\ce {C3H4}}} : In two of the isomers, the three carbon atoms are connected in an open chain, but in one of them ( propadiene or allene; I ) the carbons are connected by two double bonds , while in
216-473: A chain of three carbon atoms connected by single bonds, with the remaining carbon valences being filled by seven hydrogen atoms and by a hydroxyl group − OH {\displaystyle {\ce {-OH}}} comprising the oxygen atom bound to a hydrogen atom. These two isomers differ on which carbon the hydroxyl is bound to: either to an extremity of the carbon chain propan-1-ol (1-propanol, n -propyl alcohol, n -propanol; I ) or to
270-554: A conformation isomer is separated from any other isomer by an energy barrier : the amount that must be temporarily added to the internal energy of the molecule in order to go through all the intermediate conformations along the "easiest" path (the one that minimizes that amount). A classic example of conformational isomerism is cyclohexane . Alkanes generally have minimum energy when the C − C − C {\displaystyle {\ce {C-C-C}}} angles are close to 110 degrees. Conformations of
324-428: A left hand and a right hand. The two shapes are said to be chiral . A classical example is bromochlorofluoromethane ( CHFClBr {\displaystyle {\ce {CHFClBr}}} ). The two enantiomers can be distinguished, for example, by whether the path F ⟶ Cl ⟶ Br {\displaystyle {\ce {F->Cl->Br}}} turns clockwise or counterclockwise as seen from
378-428: A molecule that are connected by just one single bond can rotate about that bond. While the bond itself is indifferent to that rotation, attractions and repulsions between the atoms in the two parts normally cause the energy of the whole molecule to vary (and possibly also the two parts to deform) depending on the relative angle of rotation φ between the two parts. Then there will be one or more special values of φ for which
432-547: A molecule. Therefore, the possible isomers of a compound in solution or in its liquid and solid phases many be very different from those of an isolated molecule in vacuum. Even in the gas phase, some compounds like acetic acid will exist mostly in the form of dimers or larger groups of molecules, whose configurations may be different from those of the isolated molecule. Two compounds are said to be enantiomers if their molecules are mirror images of each other, that cannot be made to coincide only by rotations or translations – like
486-423: A real compound; they are fictions devised as a way to describe (by their "averaging" or "resonance") the actual delocalized bonding of o -xylene, which is the single isomer of C 8 H 10 {\displaystyle {\ce {C8H10}}} with a benzene core and two methyl groups in adjacent positions. Stereoisomers have the same atoms or isotopes connected by bonds of
540-638: A single isomer, depending on the temperature and the context. For example, the two conformations of cyclohexane convert to each other quite rapidly at room temperature (in the liquid state), so that they are usually treated as a single isomer in chemistry. In some cases, the barrier can be crossed by quantum tunneling of the atoms themselves. This last phenomenon prevents the separation of stereoisomers of fluorochloroamine NHFCl {\displaystyle {\ce {NHFCl}}} or hydrogen peroxide H 2 O 2 {\displaystyle {\ce {H2O2}}} , because
594-645: A single letter and is a different compound. Propranolol is a drug used for reducing blood pressure and hand tremors.

SECTION 10
#1732791938657648-402: Is no specific geometric constraint that separate them. For example, long chains may be twisted to form topologically distinct knots , with interconversion prevented by bulky substituents or cycle closing (as in circular DNA and RNA plasmids ). Some knots may come in mirror-image enantiomer pairs. Such forms are called topological isomers or topoisomers . Propanol From Misplaced Pages,
702-461: Is not another isomer, since the difference between it and 1-propanol is not real; it is only the result of an arbitrary choice in the direction of numbering the carbons along the chain. For the same reason, "ethoxymethane" is the same molecule as methoxyethane, not another isomer. 1-Propanol and 2-propanol are examples of positional isomers , which differ by the position at which certain features, such as double bonds or functional groups , occur on
756-440: Is not chiral: the mirror image of its molecule is also obtained by a half-turn about a suitable axis. Another example of a chiral compound is 2,3-pentadiene H 3 C − CH = C = CH − CH 3 {\displaystyle {\ce {H3C-CH=C=CH-CH3}}} a hydrocarbon that contains two overlapping double bonds. The double bonds are such that
810-565: Is on "this side" or "the other side" of the ring's mean plane. Discounting isomers that are equivalent under rotations, there are nine isomers that differ by this criterion, and behave as different stable substances (two of them being enantiomers of each other). The most common one in nature ( myo -inositol) has the hydroxyls on carbons 1, 2, 3 and 5 on the same side of that plane, and can therefore be called cis -1,2,3,5- trans -4,6-cyclohexanehexol. And each of these cis - trans isomers can possibly have stable "chair" or "boat" conformations (although
864-435: Is rather low (~8 kJ /mol). This steric hindrance effect is more pronounced when those four hydrogens are replaced by larger atoms or groups, like chlorines or carboxyls . If the barrier is high enough for the two rotamers to be separated as stable compounds at room temperature, they are called atropisomers . Large molecules may have isomers that differ by the topology of their overall arrangement in space, even if there
918-604: Is restricted by a somewhat rigid framework of other atoms. For example, in the cyclic alcohol inositol ( CHOH ) 6 {\displaystyle {\ce {(CHOH)6}}} (a six-fold alcohol of cyclohexane), the six-carbon cyclic backbone largely prevents the hydroxyl − OH {\displaystyle {\ce {-OH}}} and the hydrogen − H {\displaystyle {\ce {-H}}} on each carbon from switching places. Therefore, one has different configurational isomers depending on whether each hydroxyl
972-455: Is the ether methoxyethane (ethyl-methyl-ether; III ). Unlike the other two, it has the oxygen atom connected to two carbons, and all eight hydrogens bonded directly to carbons. It can be described by the condensed formula H 3 C − CH 2 − O − CH 3 {\displaystyle {\ce {H3C-CH2-O-CH3}}} . The alcohol "3-propanol"
1026-426: Is true if a center with six or more equivalent bonds has two or more substituents. For instance, in the compound PF 4 Cl {\displaystyle {\ce {PF4Cl}}} , the bonds from the phosphorus atom to the five halogens have approximately trigonal bipyramidal geometry . Thus two stereoisomers with that formula are possible, depending on whether the chlorine atom occupies one of
1080-412: Is ~1.5 kcal/mol, the barrier for the ~109° rotation from trans to gauche is ~5 kcal/mol, and that of the ~142° rotation from one gauche to its enantiomer is ~8 kcal/mol. The situation for butane is similar, but with sightly lower gauche energies and barriers. If the two parts of the molecule connected by a single bond are bulky or charged, the energy barriers may be much higher. For example, in
1134-462: The C − C {\displaystyle {\ce {C-C}}} axis. Thus, even if those angles and distances are assumed fixed, there are infinitely many conformations for the ethane molecule, that differ by the relative angle φ of rotation between the two groups. The feeble repulsion between the hydrogen atoms in the two methyl groups causes the energy to minimized for three specific values of φ, 120° apart. In those configurations,
SECTION 20
#17327919386571188-479: The cis and trans labels are ambiguous. The IUPAC recommends a more precise labeling scheme, based on the CIP priorities for the bonds at each carbon atom. More generally, atoms or atom groups that can form three or more non-equivalent single bonds (such as the transition metals in coordination compounds) may give rise to multiple stereoisomers when different atoms or groups are attached at those positions. The same
1242-457: The atoms back to the original positions. Changing the shape of the molecule from such an energy minimum A {\displaystyle {\ce {A}}} to another energy minimum B {\displaystyle {\ce {B}}} will therefore require going through configurations that have higher energy than A {\displaystyle {\ce {A}}} and B {\displaystyle {\ce {B}}} . That is,
1296-495: The barriers between these are significantly lower than those between different cis - trans isomers). Cis and trans isomers also occur in inorganic coordination compounds , such as square planar MX 2 Y 2 {\displaystyle {\ce {MX2Y2}}} complexes and octahedral MX 4 Y 2 {\displaystyle {\ce {MX4Y2}}} complexes. For more complex organic molecules,
1350-419: The bonds are the same but the relative positions of the atoms differ. Isomeric relationships form a hierarchy . Two chemicals might be the same constitutional isomer, but upon deeper analysis be stereoisomers of each other. Two molecules that are the same stereoisomer as each other might be in different conformational forms or be different isotopologues . The depth of analysis depends on the field of study or
1404-426: The carbons alternately above and below their mean plane) and boat (with two opposite carbons above the plane, and the other four below it). If the energy barrier between two conformational isomers is low enough, it may be overcome by the random inputs of thermal energy that the molecule gets from interactions with the environment or from its own vibrations . In that case, the two isomers may as well be considered
1458-460: The central atom M forms six bonds with octahedral geometry , has at least two facial–meridional isomers , depending on whether the three X {\displaystyle {\ce {X}}} bonds (and thus also the three Y {\displaystyle {\ce {Y}}} bonds) are directed at the three corners of one face of the octahedron ( fac isomer), or lie on the same equatorial or "meridian" plane of it ( mer isomer). Two parts of
1512-420: The chemical and physical properties of interest. The English word "isomer" ( / ˈ aɪ s əm ər / ) is a back-formation from "isomeric", which was borrowed through German isomerisch from Swedish isomerisk ; which in turn was coined from Greek ἰσόμερoς isómeros , with roots isos = "equal", méros = "part". Structural isomers have the same number of atoms of each element (hence
1566-460: The compound biphenyl – two phenyl groups connected by a single bond – the repulsion between hydrogen atoms closest to the central single bond gives the fully planar conformation, with the two rings on the same plane, a higher energy than conformations where the two rings are skewed. In the gas phase, the molecule has therefore at least two rotamers, with the ring planes twisted by ±47°, which are mirror images of each other. The barrier between them
1620-433: The cyclohexane molecule with all six carbon atoms on the same plane have a higher energy, because some or all the C − C − C {\displaystyle {\ce {C-C-C}}} angles must be far from that value (120 degrees for a regular hexagon). Thus the conformations which are local energy minima have the ring twisted in space, according to one of two patterns known as chair (with
1674-426: The energy is at a local minimum. The corresponding conformations of the molecule are called rotational isomers or rotamers . Thus, for example, in an ethane molecule H 3 C − CH 3 {\displaystyle {\ce {H3C-CH3}}} , all the bond angles and length are narrowly constrained, except that the two methyl groups can independently rotate about

1728-406: The equilibrium between neutral and zwitterionic forms of an amino acid . The structure of some molecules is sometimes described as a resonance between several apparently different structural isomers. The classical example is 1,2-dimethylbenzene ( o -xylene), which is often described as a mix of the two apparently distinct structural isomers: However, neither of these two structures describes
1782-419: The 💕 Not to be confused with profadol , propofol , or propranolol . There are two isomers of propanol . 1-Propanol , n -propanol, or propan-1-ol: CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 OH, the most common meaning 2-Propanol, isopropyl alcohol , isopropanol, or propan-2-ol: (CH 3 ) 2 CHOH See also [ edit ] Propan a l ( propionaldehyde ) differs in spelling from propanol by
1836-564: The hydrogen atom. In order to change one conformation to the other, at some point those four atoms would have to lie on the same plane – which would require severely straining or breaking their bonds to the carbon atom. The corresponding energy barrier between the two conformations is so high that there is practically no conversion between them at room temperature, and they can be regarded as different configurations. The compound chlorofluoromethane CH 2 ClF {\displaystyle {\ce {CH2ClF}}} , in contrast,
1890-462: The internal energy of a molecule, which is determined by the angles between bonds in each atom and by the distances between atoms (whether they are bonded or not). A conformational isomer is an arrangement of the atoms of the molecule or ion for which the internal energy is a local minimum ; that is, an arrangement such that any small changes in the positions of the atoms will increase the internal energy, and hence result in forces that tend to push
1944-638: The middle carbon propan-2-ol (2-propanol, isopropyl alcohol, isopropanol; II ). These can be described by the condensed structural formulas H 3 C − CH 2 − CH 2 OH {\displaystyle {\ce {H3C-CH2-CH2OH}}} and H 3 C − CH ( OH ) − CH 3 {\displaystyle {\ce {H3C-CH(OH)-CH3}}} . The third isomer of C 3 H 8 O {\displaystyle {\ce {C3H8O}}}
1998-585: The molecule 1,2-dichloroethane ( ClH 2 C − CH 2 Cl {\displaystyle {\ce {ClH2C-CH2Cl}}} also has three local energy minima, but they have different energies due to differences between the H − H {\displaystyle {\ce {H-H}}} , Cl − Cl {\displaystyle {\ce {Cl-Cl}}} , and H − Cl {\displaystyle {\ce {H-Cl}}} interactions. There are therefore three rotamers:
2052-410: The molecule, not just two different conformations. (However, one should be aware that the terms "conformation" and "configuration" are largely synonymous outside of chemistry, and their distinction may be controversial even among chemists. ) Interactions with other molecules of the same or different compounds (for example, through hydrogen bonds ) can significantly change the energy of conformations of
2106-408: The other ( propyne or methylacetylene; II ) they are connected by a single bond and a triple bond . In the third isomer ( cyclopropene ; III ) the three carbons are connected into a ring by two single bonds and a double bond. In all three, the remaining valences of the carbon atoms are satisfied by the four hydrogens. Again, note that there is only one structural isomer with a triple bond, because
2160-654: The other possible placement of that bond is just drawing the three carbons in a different order. For the same reason, there is only one cyclopropene, not three. Tautomers are structural isomers which readily interconvert, so that two or more species co-exist in equilibrium such as H − X − Y = Z ↽ − − ⇀ X = Y − Z − H {\displaystyle {\ce {H-X-Y=Z <=> X=Y-Z-H}}} . Important examples are keto-enol tautomerism and
2214-514: The other side of"), respectively; or Z and E in the IUPAC recommended nomenclature. Conversion between these two forms usually requires temporarily breaking bonds (or turning the double bond into a single bond), so the two are considered different configurations of the molecule. More generally, cis – trans isomerism (formerly called "geometric isomerism") occurs in molecules where the relative orientation of two distinguishable functional groups

2268-819: The plane of polarized light that passes through it. The rotation has the same magnitude but opposite senses for the two isomers, and can be a useful way of distinguishing and measuring their concentration in a solution. For this reason, enantiomers were formerly called "optical isomers". However, this term is ambiguous and is discouraged by the IUPAC . Stereoisomers that are not enantiomers are called diastereomers . Some diastereomers may contain chiral center , some not. Some enantiomer pairs (such as those of trans -cyclooctene ) can be interconverted by internal motions that change bond lengths and angles only slightly. Other pairs (such as CHFClBr) cannot be interconverted without breaking bonds, and therefore are different configurations. A double bond between two carbon atoms forces
2322-423: The presence of chiral catalysts , such as most enzymes . For this latter reason, the two enantiomers of most chiral compounds usually have markedly different effects and roles in living organisms. In biochemistry and food science , the two enantiomers of a chiral molecule – such as glucose – are usually identified, and treated as very different substances. Each enantiomer of a chiral compound typically rotates
2376-529: The remaining four bonds (if they are single) to lie on the same plane, perpendicular to the plane of the bond as defined by its π orbital . If the two bonds on each carbon connect to different atoms, two distinct conformations are possible, that differ from each other by a twist of 180 degrees of one of the carbons about the double bond. The classical example is dichloroethene C 2 H 2 Cl 2 {\displaystyle {\ce {C2H2Cl2}}} , specifically
2430-481: The same molecular formula ), but the atoms are connected in distinct ways. For example, there are three distinct compounds with the molecular formula C 3 H 8 O {\displaystyle {\ce {C3H8O}}} : The first two isomers shown of C 3 H 8 O {\displaystyle {\ce {C3H8O}}} are propanols , that is, alcohols derived from propane . Both have
2484-412: The same number of atoms of each element – but distinct arrangements of atoms in space. Isomerism refers to the existence or possibility of isomers. Isomers do not necessarily share similar chemical or physical properties . Two main forms of isomerism are structural (or constitutional) isomerism, in which bonds between the atoms differ; and stereoisomerism or (spatial isomerism), in which
2538-409: The same type, but differ in their shapes – the relative positions of those atoms in space – apart from rotations and translations . In theory, one can imagine any arrangement in space of the atoms of a molecule or ion to be gradually changed to any other arrangement in infinitely many ways, by moving each atom along an appropriate path. However, changes in the positions of atoms will generally change
2592-433: The same. The decreased clearance is possibly from lower thyroxine 5-deiodinase activity in the peripheral tissue or decreased liver uptake of rT 3 . In addition, increased rT 3 concentrations result from upregulated thyroxine 5-deiodinase activity in critical illness, starvation and fetal life. Isomer In chemistry , isomers are molecules or polyatomic ions with identical molecular formula – that is,
2646-406: The six planes H − C − C {\displaystyle {\ce {H-C-C}}} or C − C − H {\displaystyle {\ce {C-C-H}}} are 60° apart. Discounting rotations of the whole molecule, that configuration is a single isomer – the so-called staggered conformation. Rotation between the two halves of
2700-412: The structural isomer Cl − HC = CH − Cl {\displaystyle {\ce {Cl-HC=CH-Cl}}} that has one chlorine bonded to each carbon. It has two conformational isomers, with the two chlorines on the same side or on opposite sides of the double bond's plane. They are traditionally called cis (from Latin meaning "on this side of") and trans ("on
2754-460: The three middle carbons are in a straight line, while the first three and last three lie on perpendicular planes. The molecule and its mirror image are not superimposable, even though the molecule has an axis of symmetry. The two enantiomers can be distinguished, for example, by the right-hand rule . This type of isomerism is called axial isomerism . Enantiomers behave identically in chemical reactions, except when reacted with chiral compounds or in

#17327919386572808-563: The thyroid gland is controlled by the hypothalamus and pituitary gland . The physiological activity of thyroid hormone is regulated by a system of enzymes that activate, inactivate or simply discard the prohormone T 4 and in turn functionally modify T 3 and rT 3 . These enzymes operate under complex direction of systems including neurotransmitters, hormones, markers of metabolism and immunological signals. The levels of rT 3 increase in conditions such as euthyroid sick syndrome because its clearance decreases while its production stays
2862-448: The two "axial" positions, or one of the three "equatorial" positions. For the compound PF 3 Cl 2 {\displaystyle {\ce {PF3Cl2}}} , three isomers are possible, with zero, one, or two chlorines in the axial positions. As another example, a complex with a formula like MX 3 Y 3 {\displaystyle {\ce {MX3Y3}}} , where
2916-484: The two conformations with minimum energy interconvert in a few picoseconds even at very low temperatures. Conversely, the energy barrier may be so high that the easiest way to overcome it would require temporarily breaking and then reforming one or more bonds of the molecule. In that case, the two isomers usually are stable enough to be isolated and treated as distinct substances. These isomers are then said to be different configurational isomers or "configurations" of
