Chapter 21.1, Problem 5P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of valine is to be stated. The rotation of valine that is prepared by halogenation of 3- methylbutanoic acid is to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

>

The carboxylic acids that contain α- hydrogen atoms in their structure on reaction with halogen in the presence of phosphorous trichloride (PCl3) results in the formation of α- halo carboxylic acids as the final products. Such a reaction is called as Hell-Volhard-Zelinsky reaction.

>

A mixture that has equal amount of enantiomers is commonly known as racemic mixture. Enantiomers have non-superimposable mirror images of one another and therefore; they rotate the plane of polarized light in opposite but equal direction. The racemic mixture is optically inactive in nature.
