Chapter 5, Problem 40PP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The enantiomeric excess (ee) should be identified for the given molecule by using its pair of enantiomeric structures.

Concept Introduction:

The enantiomeric excess (ee) is a measurement of purity for chiral substances. It reflects the degree to which a sample contains one enantiomer in greater amounts then the other.

The racemic mixture has an (ee) of 0% while single completely pure enantiomer has an (ee) of 100%

For example a simple with 60% of one enantiomer and 40% of the other has an ee of 30%(6030=30%)
