2. Is IR helpful to prove that limonene is optically active? Why or why not? Answer question here 3. If a sample is determined to be 75% of the (+) enantiomer, then what is the enantiomeric excess? Answer question here 4. An experiment is performed were the specific rotation was determined to be +52° for the resulting isolation (note this is not the observed rotation). If the enantiomerically pure compound has a literature rotation of +97°, then what is the percent of each enantiomer in the isolated mixture? Answer question here 5. Can you determine the percent R and S from the information given in questions 4? Explain. Answer question here
I'm a bit confused on enantiomers, diastereomers, and then a 180 flip meaning being "the same". I know enantiomers are mirror images that can't be placed one on top of the other. I also know diastereomers are non-mirror images. Then when diastereomers are flipped 180 degrees they can be considered "the same". Why couldn't that be said for enantiomers too when flipped 180 degrees? Thank you!
Draw a formula for the lowest molecular weight compound that contains C, H, and possibly O, N or 5, is a chiral compound, contains ONLY one functional group, and is a sulfide. Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. Include H atoms at chiral centers only. If a group is achiral, do not use wedged or hashed bonds on it. Alkene or alkyne groups are considered to be functional groups. 98 4 - /IP ChemDoodle
How do you draw the R enantiomer for this molecule
Assign the absolute configuration to each chiral centers (signed with *).
The following molecules are: Hint: Build models and relate structures or perform a configurational assignment for each asymmetric center. They are identical if they are both "S" configured. They are identical if they are both "R" configured. They are enantiomers if one is "R" configured and the other is "S" configured.
Draw a molecule that has one R stereocenter.
