Interpretation:
The line-and-wedge formula of
Concept introduction:
The naming of the chiral center and geometric isomers are based on Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules. If the priority assigned to each group attached to the chiral center in a molecule is in a clockwise direction, then it is the R-stereoisomer, and if this is counter-clockwise, then it is the S-stereoisomer. R and S-stereoisomer are mirror images of each other.
(b)
Interpretation:
The specific rotation of pure
Concept introduction:
A carbon atom that has four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as the chiral carbon atom. Chiral carbon centers are also called as asymmetric or stereogenic centers. A chiral molecule is an optically active molecule. It rotates the plane of a plane polarized light. The enantiomeric excess of a sample is given as,
(c)
Interpretation:
The percentage of each enantiomer present in the given sample is to be calculated.

- How many stereocentres are present in butan‑2‑ol and 2‑bromobutane?arrow_forwardA solution is prepared by dissolving 678 mg of testosterone in 20 mL of ethanol. The sample was placed in a 10 cm long cuvette. The observed rotation of the sample at 25oC is + 13.8o. Calculate the specific turnover of testosterone, show the calculations.arrow_forwardI want to know how many chiral centers there are in the structure of artemisinin, which is an antimalarial drug. And how many stereoisomers can there be?arrow_forward
- A natural product was isolated in the laboratory, and its observed rotation was +10° when measured in a 1 dm sample tube containing 1.0 g of compound in 10 mL of water. What is the specic rotation of this compound?arrow_forwardthe stereocenter labelled in blue has an a. R absolute configuration b. S absolute configurationarrow_forwardProvide an example of a molecule that has 4 chirality centres, but does not have 16 stereoisomers. Why doesn’t this molecule have 2n stereoisomers? Explain.arrow_forward
- Does the exclusion rule apply to C2H4?arrow_forward1. When 0.247 g of monosodium glutamate (MSG) is dissolved in 10.0 mL of water and placed in a sample cell 10.0 cm in length, the observed rotation at 20°(using the D line of sodium) is +0.632°. Calculate the specific rotation of MSG. 2. When 0.095 g of cholesterol is dissolved in 1.00 mL of ether and placed in a sample cell 10.0 cm in length, the observed rotation at 20°C (using the D line of sodium) is -0.299°.Calculate the specific rotation of cholesterol.3. The specific rotation of L-dopa in water (at 15°C) is -39.5. A chemist prepared a mixture of L-dopa and its enantiomer, and this mixture had a specific rotation of -34. Calculate the % ee of this mixture. 4. The specific rotation of vitamin B7 in water (at 22°C) is +92. A chemist prepared a mixture of vitamin B7 and its enantiomer, and this mixture had a specific rotation of +18. Calculate the % ee of this mixture.arrow_forwardIf a substance is known to have a specific rotation of +20.0 deg mL/g dm, what is the concentration (in g/mL) of a solution that would give an observed rotation of +10.0 degrees, if the path length of the sample tube was 1.00 dm? Can you do this problem in your head?arrow_forward
- Perform a stereochemical analysis of the final hydrobenzoin product, indicating which pairs are enantiomers and/or diastereomers, or a meso compound. Indicate the chiral centres with asterisks(*) and assign the stereochemical configuration at each chiral centre. Then indicate the stereochemical relationship between each stereoisomerarrow_forwardWhat will be the optical rotation of a mixture of equal portions of (+)-MTPA and its enantiomer?arrow_forwardWhich of these projections has optical rotation of zero ?arrow_forward
