While (S)-ibuprofen is the active ingredient, commercial ibuprofen is sold as a racemic drug because (R)-ibuprofen is non-toxic. Nonetheless research is ongoing to achieve enantiopurity as (S)-ibuprofen is 3 times as effective as the mixture and with less side-effects. Currently, a research lab published a method to produce (S)-ibuprofen that is 94% e.e. Which of the following statements is TRUE based on the information provided? The research lab's product contains 6% of (R)-ibuprofen. O Commercial ibuprofen has 50% enantiomeric excess. O The research lab's product sample will have a negative value for its observed rotation. O Commercial ibuprofen sample is optically inactive.

In an attempt to synthesize compound C through a two-step process, a chemist discovered after completing the first step that they had inadvertently produced two distinct compounds, A and B. Upon examining the infrared spectroscopy (IR) results, it was observed that both A and B exhibited peaks indicative of a ketone and an ester group. Please provide the molecular structures of A and B. OEt NaOEt ΕΙΟ A B In a chemical experiment, they noticed that both components, A and B, from a combined sample turned into a new compound, C, during the following stage. The task is to determine what compound C looks like and explain how compound A or B changes into compound C through a reaction. Compound C should be the primary molecule containing carbon created in this process, not just a by-product. A B H3O+, H₂O, A Mechanism = с

A compound A, C7H12, was found to be optically active. On catalytic reduction over platinum catalyst, 2 equivalents of hydrogen were absorbed, yielding compound B, C7H16. On ozonolysis of A, two fragments were obtained. One fragment was identified as acetic acid. The other fragment, compound C, was an optically active carboxylic acid, C5H10O2. Write the reactions and draw structures for A, B and C.
