Chapter 6, Problem 6.48SP
A solution of pure (S)-2-iodobutane ([α]=+15.90°) in acetone is allowed to react with radioactive iodide, 131|−, until 1.0% of the iodobutane contains radioactive iodine. The specific rotation of this recovered iodobutane is found to be +15.58°.
- a. Determine the percentages of (R)- and (S)-2-iodobutane in the product mixture.
- b. What does this result suggest about the mechanism of the reaction of 2-iodobutane with iodide ion?

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?
Uemura and coworkers studied a time dependent Diels-Alder reaction which first formed the endo product as the major organic product and with time produced the exo product (J. Org. Chem. 2018, 83, 9300−9304). Show the endo and exo product for the reaction below. Which is the thermodynamic product and which is the kinetic product? Explain your reasoning.
