Stereochemistry and Isomerism

Stereochemistry deals with the three-dimensional structure and properties of molecules. It explains the arrangement of atoms and their manipulation within a molecule in a 3D structure. Stereochemistry can be dealt with all types of molecules. Based on the stereochemistry of a molecule, the physical and chemical properties of the molecules vary.

D-Xylose in aqueous solution exists in the pyranose form as a mixture of α and β anomers. Furanose and acyclic forms are present in negligible amounts and can be ignored. A sample of pure α-D-xylopyranose is dissolved in pure neutral water. The optical rotation is then measured immediately using a polarimeter. The specific rotation [??]?? is +93.6°. The optical rotation is then observed to decrease with the passage of time, and the solution is allowed to reach equilibrium. Eventually the specific rotation stabilises at [??]?? = +18.8°. The anomeric ratio at equilibrium a : β is 37 : 63. A sample of pure β-D-xylopyranose is not available. Using this information, predict the specific rotation of pure β-D-xylopyranose. Show how the a and β anomers equilibrate using a mechanism, assuming the presence of a trace amount of base as catalyst.
