Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of all of the products which would form after the reaction of (±)-α- phenylglutaric anhydride and (±)-1- phenylethanol are to be predicted. The product which should be separable without enantiomeric resolution is to be identified. products should be obtained in equal amounts and in different amounts are to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Esters are formed by the reaction of an acid with an alcohol. The process of formation of esters is known as esterification. The ester is also be formed by the reaction of derivatives of carboxylic acids with alcohol. Acid anhydride after reaction with ethanol gives a mixture of carboxylic acid and esters.

An acid–base reaction of (R)-sec-butylamine with a racemic mixture of 2phenylpropanoic acid forms two products having different melting points and somewhat different solubilities. Draw the structure of these two products. Assign R and S to any stereogenic centers in the products. How are the two products related? Choose from enantiomers, diastereomers, constitutional isomers, or not isomers of each other.
