Any material that rotates the plane of polarized
light is said to be optically active. Optically active compound is
nonsuperimposable on its mirror image. If a molecule is superimposable on its mirror
image, the compound does not rotate the plane polarized light; it is optically inactive.

• For example, most amino acids (and so proteins) are chiral, along with many other molecules.
• In nature, only one optical isomer occurs (e.g. all natural amino acids are rotate polarised light to the left).
• Many natural molecules are chiral and most natural reactions are affected by optical isomerism.

Chirality (cheir, Greek for handhand).
The property of nonsuperimposability of an object on its mirror image is called chiralitychirality..
If a molecule is not superimposable on its mirror image, it is chiralchiral. If it is superimposable on its mirror image, it is achiralachiral.

Carbons with four different groups attached to them are handed, or chiral.
Optical isomers or stereoisomers If one stereoisomer is “right-handed,” its
enantiomer is “left-handed.”

Enantiomers have identical physical and chemical properties except in two two important respects:important respects:
1. They rotate the plane polarized light in opposite directions, however in equal amounts.
The isomer that rotates the plane to the left (anticlockwise) is called the levo isomer and is designated (-)
While the one that rotates the plane to the right (clockwise) is called the dextro isomer and designated (+).
![Page 24: Pharmaceutical ORGANIC CHEMISTRY. Optical Isomerism Polarimeter Chirality Chiral compounds Enantiomers and diastereomers Racemate](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050908/56649c8e5503460f94947035/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
2. They react at different rates with other chiralchiral compounds.
This is the reason that many compounds are biologically active while their enantiomers are not.
They react at the same rates
with achiralachiral compounds.
![Page 25: Pharmaceutical ORGANIC CHEMISTRY. Optical Isomerism Polarimeter Chirality Chiral compounds Enantiomers and diastereomers Racemate](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050908/56649c8e5503460f94947035/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
A racemic mixture dose not rotate the plane of
polarization of plane-polarized light because the
rotation by each enantiomer is cancelled
by the equal and opposite rotation by the other.
A solution of either a racemic mixture or of
achiral compound said to be optically inactive

Many drugs are optically active, with one enantiomer only having the beneficial effect.
In the case of some drugs, the other enantiomer can even be harmful, e.g. thalidomide.
![Page 27: Pharmaceutical ORGANIC CHEMISTRY. Optical Isomerism Polarimeter Chirality Chiral compounds Enantiomers and diastereomers Racemate](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050908/56649c8e5503460f94947035/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
In the 1960’s thalidomide was given to pregnant women to reduce the effects of morning sickness.
This led to many disabilities in babies and early deaths in many cases.

Thalidomide was banned worldwide when the effects were discovered.
However, it is starting to be used again to treat leprosy and HIV.
Its use is restricted though and patients have to have a pregnancy test first (women!) and use two forms of contraception (if sexually active).
