A chemist synthesized compound X as a racemic mixture. When the ketone group in X was
enzymatically reduced to the corresponding alcohol, a 100% yield was obtained of the product
shown below. Choose the statement that best describes this result.
ОН
enzyme
C;H1
`OCH,CH;
pH 4.0
C3H1
`OCH,CH3
ОН
ÕH
X (racemic)
(100% yield)
One enantiomer of compound X reacts quickly with the enzyme. The other enantiomer of compound X is
unreactive, but rapidly equilibrates with the reactive enantiomer under the reaction conditions.
Since compound X was racemic, it makes sense that only a single product was obtained.
O The product is a meso compound, so either enantiomer of compound X gives the same product.
One enantiomer of compound X reacts quickly with the enzyme, while the other enantiomer of compound X
remains unchanged.
Bisphenol A is made on a large scale by a condensation of phenol with acetone. Suggest an appropriate catalyst, and propose a mechanism for this reaction.
