2. R-3-Bromo-3-methylhexane has a rotation of +100: When placed in 48% aqueous HBr the optical rotation changes rapidly. Within 10 min it is +50 In 20 min it is +25 What is the rotation after 1 day? What is the relative amount of R and S isomers at 10 min? (not required but you should be able to write a mechanism for this)
