Potential Isomerism: Asymmetric Carbons

 Two or more chiral centres  n centers - 2n isomers  Enantiomers as above  Diastereoisomers - not mirror images: different properties  Epimer - change in configuration at one centre new diastereoisomer  Physical properties can be different

Potential Isomerism: Other  Geometric isomer (alkenes)  Both carbon atoms forming the double bond are attached to two different groups  E/Z isomers (cis/trans)  Chirality associated with other elements  Sulphur, Nitrogen, Phosphorus  Positional isomers  Ring substitution
