Chapter 4.4, Problem 6P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The specific rotation of enantiopure cholesterol and the fraction of synthetic cholesterol in the given mixture are to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The specific rotation, denoted by [α], can be calculated from the observed rotation using the following expression:

[α]=100αcl

Where

α is the observed rotation

c is the concentration of the sample in grams per 100 mL of solution

l is the length of the polarimeter tube in decimeters.

The optical purity is equal to the percentage enantiomeric excess, which can be determined from the following expression:

Optical purity=specific rotation of samplespecific rotation of pure enantiomer×100

The percent enantiomeric excess is the difference between the percentages of major and minor enantiomers.

%Enantiomeric excess=(% Major enantiomer)-(% Minor enantiomer)

A racemic mixture is the mixture of equal composition of enantiomers.
