To the rest, it seems to be confusing.
But to a middle-aged-plus biochemist, it deserves repeating. This system is meaningful only for monosaccharides, amino acids, and, less straightforwardly, inositols and glycerides. There is just no way it can be applied to limonene. You can say the H on the stereocenter of limonene is related to the H of glyceraldehyde, but then what?
Optical isomers that are identified by their sign of rotation—which, of course, is unrelated to their absolute configuration—are called d- or l- for dextro- and levo-rotatory. It is also present in the seeds of caraway and dill. The synthesis of monoterpenes in most plants starts with 3-methylbutenyl pyrophosphate, shown below. This process establishes an equilibrium where both isomers are present.
With the aid of another enzyme the two isomers can be joined to give geranyl pyrophosphate which is cyclised to give limonene. Limonene therefore has two optical isomers. The optical isomers are non-superimposable mirror images of each other and their three-dimensional structures can be compared here. Thus the two isomers of limonene can be named 4 R -limonene and 4 S -limonene. The two enantiomers have identical chemical properties but different odours. And unsurprisingly it smells of oranges!
The smell of - -limonene is similar to turpentine, although some people suggest it has a lemon like aroma. The vector sum of the bond dipoles gives the molecular dipole. As to optical activity, the anti conformation is achiral [center of symmetry]. Gauche 1 and gauche 2 not to be confused with Dr. Seuss's Thing one and Thing two conformations are chiral and form a racemate. No net optical activity. Indeed, the only conformation that has a plane of symmetry is quite unstable.
Explain and illustrate optical activity and dipole moment for each. The anti conformation has a center of symmetry at the center of the C 2 -C 3 bond internal comparison, no optical activity.
The eclipsed conformation of the meso compound in which all like groups are paired 0 o dihedral angle is unstable. The eclipsed conformation is used as a test of whether or not there is a plane of symmetry in the molecule. Which of the following compounds are, in principle, capable of resolution?
The two rings are orthogonal to one another thereby producing two non-superimposable mirror images. Imagine that the CO 2 H group is above the plane of the molecule. Draw its mirror image. They are not superimposable. The double bond and the 6-membered ring are an extension of the cumulated double bonds in the resolvable 1,3-disubstituted allenes. Free rotation about the biphenyl bond is too rapid for resolution.
