Chapter 5, Problem 2LGP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The three-dimensional structure, the mirror image and Fisher projection formula of mirror image of d-galactitol are to be drawn. The stereochemical relationship between d-galactitol and its mirror image is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Enantiomers are a type of stereoisomers whose molecules have nonsuperimposable mirror images of each other.

A chiral molecule is one that has a non-superimposable mirror image and an achiral molecule is one that has a superimposable mirror image.

Could you crystallize one enantiomer of mandelic acid from a racemic mixture (using the typical achiral solvents found in our lab) without preparing a diastereomeric salt? Why or why not? No, because both enantiomers have the same solubility in achiral solvents. than the other. ооо Yes, because one enantiomer has a higher melting point No, because both enantiomers are liquids. Yes, because one enantiomer is more crystalline than the other.
If the literature value of specific rotation for a chiral compound is -53.6°, what is the enantiomeric excess of a compound with a measured specific rotation of -40.5°?
The process to determine the configuration, starts by placing the lowest priority substituent toward the back. If the substituents pointing forward decrease in priority in a clockwise order, the configuration is S. If the substituents decrease in priority in a counterclockwise order, the configuration is R.
