Chapter 15, Problem 56P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The specific rotation of the enantiomer of lactose should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Chiral or optically active molecules can rotate plane-polarized light either clockwise or counter clockwise. If plane-polarized light is rotated clockwise then it is known as dextrorotatory and for counter clockwise rotation it is known as levorotatory.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Boiling point comparison should be done for enantiomers of Taxol.

Concept Introduction:

Physical properties of enantiomers are similar except the direction of optical activity. Solubility, melting point, boiling points are similar in enantiomers.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The solubility of Taxol needs to be compared to its enantiomer.

Concept Introduction:

Physical properties of enantiomers are similar except the direction of optical activity. Solubility, melting point, boiling points are similar in enantiomers.
