Question
Chapter 6.16, Problem 6.28P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The enantiomeric excess and expected specific rotation for the expected product is to be calculated on the basis of given information.
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 enantiomeric excess and expected specific rotation for the expected product on the basis of given information.

Assume that (2S,3R)-2-bromo-3-chloropentane
has a specific rotation of +58°. What would be
the specific rotation of the (2R,3S) isomer?
Draw all stereoisomers of 3,4-hexanediamine. Label each sterocenter with the appropriate R/S designation to show hardness. Indicate the relationship(enantiomers or diasteromers) between every possible pairing of compounds. Label each compound as chiral or achiral, and if there is a mess compound, label it as such.one of these compound has a specific rotation of +6.9 degrees. Which compound might this be? What do you expect the specific rotation of the remaining compound to be?
In some nucleophilic substitutions under SN1 conditions, complete racemization does not occur and a small excess of one enantiomer is present. For example, treatment of optically pure 1-bromo-1-phenylpropane with water forms 1-phenylpropan-1-ol. (a) Calculate how much of each enantiomer is present using the given optical rotation data. (b) Which product predominates—the product of inversion or the product of retention of configuration? (c) Suggest an explanation for this phenomenon.
