(a)
To determine: The enantiomer of carvone that smells like spearmint.
Interpretation: The enantiomer of carvone that smells like spearmint is to be identified.
Concept introduction: A chiral carbon atom is attached to four different atoms or group of atoms and shows a tetrahedral geometry. The mirror image of a chiral compound is non super imposable. The two different forms in which a single chiral carbon can exist are referred as enantiomers. The number of enantiomers of a molecule depends on the number of chiral centers.
(b)
To determine: Whether the (R) or (S) enantiomer of carvone smells like spearmint.
Interpretation: Whether the (R) or (S) enantiomer of carvone smells spearmint is to be identified.

- 1 F1 Q A IR spectroscopy can be helpful in proving that limonene is optically active but it is not always necessary to use IR spectroscopy in order to determine whether a molecule is optically active. Sometimes looking at the molecule's physical properties can help to determine whether it is optically active. 3. If a sample is determined to be 75% of the (+) enantiomer, then what is the enantiomeric excess? Answer question here I 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. 2 F2 W S #3 20 F3 E D S4 $ 4 F4 R LL % 5 F5 T G MacBook Air ^ 6 F6 Y & 7 H F7 U * 8 DII F8arrow_forward5. Suppose that the CH3 group connected to the nitrogen in methamphetamine were instead a CH2CH3 group. Briefly describe how the spectrum would change, including the number of signals, the splitting patterns, and integration. Ignore everything that's the same, I'm just looking for the differences. CH2: CH3: 6. Consider the structure of the drug Adderall, shown to the right. Briefly, what differences would you see in the spectrum of Adderall versus the spectrum of methamphetamine? NH3 Part 2: Mechanismsarrow_forwardSTATION 3 At this station you will find both a molecular model kit and a mirror. In this experiment you will be constructing special stereoisomers called ENANTIOMERS. These are two isomers that are mirror images of one another. These types of isomers are very important and will be discussed in detail later in the course. Part 1: Build a model of bromochloromethane. Using a mirror to see what the image looks like, build a model of the mirror image of bromochloromethane. Are the two structures identical to one another? Explain Part 2: Build a model f bromochloromethanol, then the structure of its mirror image. Are the two structures identical? Explain Looking at the results of part 1 and part 2 above, suggest a property that a molecule must have in order for its mirror image to be an enantiomer. Using the results of this experiment, answer the following: Do constitutional isomers have the same IUPAC name? Do stereoisomers have the same IUPAC name?arrow_forward

Properties and IMF: Chlorophyll a and Chlorophyll b are almost identical in structure, but they separated during TLC. Report the RFs you recorded for both molecules. What functional group(s) are different between them? Then explain these RF values by comparing the IMF present in each molecule to those present in the mobile or stationary phase and how this shaped their affinities for each phase. Use the terms RF, IMF, polar, nonpolar, affinity, mobile phase and stationary phase.arrow_forward
