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. It's racemate (same compound different configuration) (S)-2-methylbutan -1- ol would have the same specific rotation value but of opposite sign. a. What are concentrations of both of these compounds if the pathlength used for the cuvette is 2.3 cm and each would have observed rotation of ± 1.151°? b. To arrive at these two compounds as products, what specific molecule should be your starting reactant? Draw a detailed reaction mechanism outline for the formation of these two compounds.

If a molecule is chiral, is it guaranteed to have a stereocentre (or multiple stereocentres)?
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. (This is a reaction you have never seen before, it is capable of removing any hydrogen in the molecule and replacing it with a chlorine. It is a 2,step reaction with a free radical intermediate) CH, -CI + Н-с-н Ch C4H3 Ch + HCI CH,

Determine the number of possible stereoisomers that exist for the compound C(CH2CHOHCH3)4. Compute the maximum number that you would predict using the 2n rule. Using the notation RRRR, list all of the stereoisomers and identify all pairs of enantiomers and diastereomers. Do any meso structures exist? Note, the notation RRRR indicates that all four stereocenters in the molecule have the R configuration.
