Chapter 7.6, Problem 1E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Number of stereo centers in (+)-tartaric acid should be identified.

Concept Introduction :

Stereo centers are those carbon atoms which are attached to 4 different groups. They are also known as chiral centers.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

All possible stereo isomers of (+)-tartaric acid should be drawn by indicating the optical activity of the each structure while indicating pairs of them as enantiomers, diastereomers or meso compounds.

Concept Introduction :

Stereoisomers are the compounds which have the same molecular formula but differ only with the partial arrangement of the atoms in the molecule.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Other stereoisomers of (+)-tartaric acid that can be used to resolve racemic 1-phenylethylamine should be identified.

Concept Introduction :

Stereoisomers are the compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ only with the partial arrangement of the atoms in the molecule.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A possible advantage of using a different stereoisomer of (+)-tartaric acid to resolve racemic 1-phenylethylamine should be identified and the reason should be explained.

Concept Introduction :

Stereoisomers are the compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ only with the partial arrangement of the atoms in the molecule.

(e)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Importance of the optical purity of the resolving compound should be identified and explained.

Concept Introduction :

Stereoisomers are the compounds which have the same molecular formula but differ only with the partial arrangement of the atoms in the molecule.

What is different for enantiomers? a)The rate at which they react with a chiral column b) the TLC Rf value
Explain why the enantiomers of 1,2-dimethylaziridine can be separated even though one of the “groups” attached to nitrogen is a lone pair.
Results and Discussion:   Nitroprusside Reaction: Samples: cysteine, cystine, glycine Reagents: Saturated Sodium Carbonate (Na2CO3) solution, Saturated Sodium Nitroprusside solution, 1.0% sodium cyanide (NaCN) -To 0.5 ml of the sample, add 0. 25 ml of saturated sodium carbonate solution and a drop of freshly prepared saturated solution of sodium nitroprusside (HANDLE WITH CARE). A purple color will develop if free sulfhydryl groups are present. If negative, add 1 drop of 1.0% NaCN. The development of a red color indicated the presence of disulphide bonds.
