Question
2. Is IR helpful to prove that limonene is optically active? Why or why not?
Answer question here
3. If a sample is determined to be 75% of the (+) enantiomer, then what is the enantiomeric excess?
Answer question here
4. An experiment is performed were the specific rotation was determined to be +52° for the resulting
isolation (note this is not the observed rotation). If the enantiomerically pure compound has a literature
rotation of +97°, then what is the percent of each enantiomer in the isolated mixture?
Answer question here
5. Can you determine the percent R and S from the information given in questions 4? Explain.
