A student has isolated a chiral alkyl halide (shown below) with a specific rotation of [a] =
+22.1°. The student decided to store the compound in the solvent MeOH overnight.
However, reanalysis of the alkyl halide showed a new chemical formula of C1H160 with
a specific rotation of [a] = 0°. Suggest a mechanism to justify these results.
Br
You synthesize the enantiomer of levetiracetam, but your specific rotation is found to be 67.8. What is the enantiomeric excess (% ee) of this product?
When 1 g of compound X is dissolved in 100 mL of solvent, the observed rotation is +12. What will be the observed rotation if 1 g of compound X is dissolved in 200 mL of solvent?

- A graduate student was studying enzymatic reductions of cyclohexanones when she encountered some interesting chemistry. When she used an enzyme and NADPH to reduce the following ketone, she was surprised to find that the product was optically active. She carefully repurified the product so that no enzyme, NADPH, or other contaminants were present. Still, the product was optically active. Does the product have any asymmetric carbon atoms or other stereocenters?arrow_forwardOne way to determine the number of acidic hydrogens in a molecule is to treat the compound with NaOD in D2O, isolate the product, and determine its molecular weight by mass spectrometry. For example, if cyclohexanone is treated with NaOD in D2O, the product has MW = 102. Explain how this method works.arrow_forwardUse the first column to rank each substrate by the rate at which it will undergo SN 2 substitution.
