Difference between Optical rotation and Stereoselectivity

Optical rotation vs. Stereoselectivity

Optical rotation or optical activity (sometimes referred to as rotary polarization) is the rotation of the plane of polarization of linearly polarized light as it travels through certain materials. In chemistry, stereoselectivity is the property of a chemical reaction in which a single reactant forms an unequal mixture of stereoisomers during the non-stereospecific creation of a new stereocenter or during the non-stereospecific transformation of a pre-existing one.

Similarities between Optical rotation and Stereoselectivity

Optical rotation and Stereoselectivity have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Chirality (chemistry), Enantiomer, Enantiomeric excess, Stereoisomerism.

Chirality (chemistry)

Chirality is a geometric property of some molecules and ions.

Enantiomer

In chemistry, an enantiomer, also known as an optical isomer (and archaically termed antipode or optical antipode), is one of two stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other that are non-superposable (not identical), much as one's left and right hands are the same except for being reversed along one axis (the hands cannot be made to appear identical simply by reorientation).

Enantiomeric excess

Enantiomeric excess (ee) is a measurement of purity used for chiral substances.

Stereoisomerism

In stereochemistry, stereoisomers are isomeric molecules that have the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms (constitution), but differ in the three-dimensional orientations of their atoms in space.

Optical rotation and Stereoselectivity Comparison

Optical rotation has 64 relations, while Stereoselectivity has 37. As they have in common 4, the Jaccard index is 3.96% = 4 / (64 + 37).
