6.4 Calculation of number of optical isomers
The structural formula of bromo chloroiodomethane is
The molecule has one chiral carbon as designated by star. So molecule is chiral. It is non-super imposable on its mirror image.
According to Van’t Hoff rule.
Total number of optical isomers should be $=$ ${2^n}$ .
where n is number of chiral centre.
The fischer projections of the two isomers are
These are optically active, which are non-super imposable mirror image of each other and can rotate plane of polarized light.
Stereosiomers which are mirror-image of each other are called enantiomers (or) Enantimorphs. (i) and (ii) are enantiomers. All the physical and chemical properties of enantiomers are same except two:
(i) They rotate PPL to the same extent but in opposite direction. One which rotates PPL in clockwise direction is called dextro-rotatory (dextro is Latin word meaning thereby right] and is designated by d (or) $(+).$ One which rotates PPL in anti-clockwise direction is called laevo rotatory (means towards left] and designate by $\ell $ (or) $(–).$
(ii) They react with optically active compounds with different rates.
