Question
Chapter 5.7, Problem 5.13P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The percentage of (+)-butan-2-ol and (
Concept introduction: The concentration of the compound affects the rotation of polarized light in Polarimeter. The rotation is also dependent upon the length of the cell and optical activity of the compound. Optical purity of a compound is measured by the enantiomeric excess.
To determine: The percentage of (+)-butan-2-ol and (

Explain how the reaction of (CH3)2CHCH(Cl)CH3 with H2O yields two substitutionproducts, (CH3)2CHCH(OH)CH3 and (CH3)2C(OH)CH2CH3
A chemist synthesized compound X as a racemic mixture. When the ketone group in X was
enzymatically reduced to the corresponding alcohol, a 100% yield was obtained of the product
shown below. Choose the statement that best describes this result.
ОН
enzyme
C;H1
`OCH,CH;
pH 4.0
C3H1
`OCH,CH3
ОН
ÕH
X (racemic)
(100% yield)
One enantiomer of compound X reacts quickly with the enzyme. The other enantiomer of compound X is
unreactive, but rapidly equilibrates with the reactive enantiomer under the reaction conditions.
Since compound X was racemic, it makes sense that only a single product was obtained.
O The product is a meso compound, so either enantiomer of compound X gives the same product.
One enantiomer of compound X reacts quickly with the enzyme, while the other enantiomer of compound X
remains unchanged.
