Chapter 3, Problem 3.35P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Optical activity of the given compound has to be checked when there is restricted rotation along the central carbon-carbon bond and also optical rotation at elevated temperatures when the rotation becomes less restricted has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Atropisomers:

Stereoisomers that occur when rotation around a central carbon-carbon bond is sufficient to allow isolation of individual conformers are called as an atropisomers.

A certain compound has a specific rotation of -43.2o (c = 5, toluene). What is the observed rotation of a sample of 1.24 g of the enantiomer of this compound when diluted to a concentration of 1.00 g ml-1 in the same solvent? Example 30 In his classic studies of stereochemistry and optical activity in organic compounds, Pasteur measured the optical activity of many solutions. For the naturally occurring enantiomer of tartaric acid, [α]D20 = +12.4o (c = 20, H2O). What can be concluded about the ratio of tartaric acid enantiomers present in the solution if the observed rotation is (i) α = -6.0o, or (ii) α =  0o?
