A student isgiven a solution labeled only as 2,3-dihydroxybutane. She used the polarimeter to determine its optical rotation, and found that the solution was not optically active. Draw the absolute configuration of theisomer of 2,3-dihydroxybutane that would give zero optical rotation.
(R)-2-methylbutan -1- ol (structure shown on the right )is an optically active compound that has a specific rotation value of +5.75° over a sodium D-line wavelength at 20°C.

The S isomer of 2-chlorobutame (below) can react with chlorine to make 5 isomers of dichlorobutane. Draw a Fisher projection each isomer, label all of the chiral centers as R or S, and designate the enantiomer and diastereomer relationships.
