Question
Chapter 15, Problem 15.27P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The specific rotation of the enantiomer of the ephedrine should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Enantiomers are mirror image of each other which are non superimposable.
Specific rotation is the degree of rotation of a plane of polarized light per unit distance-concentration of the product.
