Current Attempt in Progress Synthetic chemists often employ enzymes to conduct asymmetric syntheses that favor the production of one enantiomer over another. Baker's yeast was used to convert the diketone shown into alcohol 1, with an ee of 84%. (Tetrahedron Asymmetry 2014, 25. 340-347.) The specific rotation for the pure (S) enantiomer of 1 is reported to be +88.6. Calculate the expected specific rotation for the sample of 1 that was synthesized with baker's yeast.

I have a solution of a standard reference molecule and its' enantiomer. I used 25 mg of the mixture and dissolved it in 30 mL of solvent. The pathlength of my tube is 65cm. The specific rotation of the reference material is 100. For my sample, i got+0.25 degrees. How much of my reference molecule is in the solution in % and mg?
please provide the machanisms of 1a, 1e, 1f
Viktor measures out 2.100 g of the ibuprofen from the bottle and dissolves it in 15.0 mL of ethanol. He transfers this solution to a 1.0 dm long tube and the polarimeter gives him a reading of +7.3416 deg for this sample. The literature specific rotation for ibuprofen is 57 deg. What is the observed specific rotation for this sample? What is the enantiomeric excess (EE) for this sample?
you isolate limonene from yuor orange peel via steam distillation and measure the optical rotation . your sample has an optical rotation of [a]20 = +77.3, but the literature value of R-(+)-limonene is [a]20 = +115.5 , what is the most likely reason for the discrepancy
The following data was collected for this experiment: A sample of 0.8281 g of phenylsuccinic acid was dissolved in 10 mL of acetone. This sample gave a reading, aobs, of +10.278 deg on the polarimeter. A tube measuring 1 dm was used for the sample. What is the major enantiomer present in this sample? Calculate the concentration of the sample used in g/mL. Calculate the observed specific rotation [a]obs of the sample. Give your answer to 4 significant figures.
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.
Organic Chemistry 1 Here is the professor's solution to the problem. However, I do NOT understand the solution. Please explain the answer in a clear step-by-step fashion to me. Explain the answer provided in the image in a clear fashion and as if I did not know much about organic chemistry. It seems to me like the professor is making the problem more complicated than it has to be. Can you demystify or simplify this problem about D glucose? How can you assign priorities on a Fischer projection? I don't get it.

(-)-Cholesterol has a specific rotation of -32o. A mixture of (+)- and (-)-cholesterol was analyzed by polarimetry, and the observed rotation was 14o. What is the percent composition of the (+) isomer in this mixture?Assume 1 g of sample was dissolved in 1 mL water and the sample cell was 1 dm long.
a. The specific rotation for pure R is +5.0, what percentage of the mixture is R when the observed roation is -2.0. b. The rotation for pure S=-100. What is the observed rotation of a mixture that is 20%S and 80%R? I need an easy way to solve these kinds of problem, please!!
