Cetrizine is chiral. Like many chiral drugs, one enantiomer of cetrizine is more active than the other enantiomer or the racemic mixture. The levorotatory (S) enantiomer of cetrizine is more active, and syntheses have been developed that produce only the desired enantiomer in high yield. Label the chiral center of cetrizine with an asterisk. CI Cetrizine -CO,H

Many studies have shown that one specific enantiomer of citalopram (“S”) is the one capable of inhibition of serotonin reuptake. Lexapro is the brand name for the purified form of the S- enantiomer of citalopram. Explain briefly why Lexapro would be more expensive than Celexa.

Both enantiomers of α-terpineneol may be isolated from various natural sources: the (S) isomer is a constituent of longleaf pine oil, whereas the (R) isomer is present in the petitgrain oil. Change the following depiction of α-terpineneol to represent the structure of (S)-α-terpineneol
The absolute configuration of BAGO is (dextrorotatory, levorotatory, R, S). The melting point of its enantiomer will be (higher, lower, equal) than/with 197.2. The relative configuration of its enantiomer will be (dextrorotatory, levorotatory, R, S). The density of BAGO is (higher, lower, equal, twice) the density of its enantiomer.
To the right are two enantiomeric natural products with vastly different olfactory properties. I find this example of enantiomeric pairs particularly intriguing, as I love caraway and rye but loathe searment: Answer the questions below with the understanding that an optically pure solution of the (-)-enantiomer of carvone rotates light counterclockwise 60*. a. what would be the observed optical rotation of a solution comprised of a 3:1 ratio of the (+) to (-) enantiomers of carvone? b. a different solution of both carvone enantiomers exhibits an observed optical rotation of -10*. determine the enantiomeric excess for this solution. c. which enantiomer (R or S) is in excess in the solution from (b)? how do you know? d. using your answer (b) above, calculate the actual percentages of each enantiomer in the solution.

Briefly outline how the enantiomers of phenylsuccinic acid will be separated from each other, starting from racemic phenylsuccinic acid to isolating (+)-phenylsuccinic acid. Explain the purpose of each step.
Assign R and S to all of the asymmetric centers and give the proper IUPAC name for the following compound.
1. how many stereoisomers are possible for 9,10- dibromo hexadecanoic acid? 2. Addition of bromine to palmitoleic acid primarily yields a set of enantiomers, (±) -three-9,10-dibromo hexadecanoic acid. The addition of bromine is an anti-addition to the double bond (ie, it appears to occur through the intermediary of the bromonium ion). Taking into account the stereochemistry of the cis double bond of palmitoleic acid and the stereochemistry of adding bromine, Write a three-dimensional structure for (±) -three-9,10-dibromo hexadecanoic acid!
