(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To drraw: The structure of (S)2iodobutane.

Interpretation: The structure of (S)2iodobutane is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The enantiomers of a chiral compound can be named with the help of right hand and left hand configuration. In fisher projection, chiral carbon atom is represented by a cross. When two groups on a fisher projection are interchanged, the configuration of chiral carbon also changes from (R) to (S) or (S) to (R).

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The specific rotation of (R)2iodobutane.

Interpretation: The specific rotation of (R)2iodobutane is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The enantiomers of a chiral compound can be named the help of right hand and left hand configuration. In fisher projection, chiral carbon atom is represented by a cross. When two groups on a fisher projection are interchanged, the configuration of chiral carbon also changes from (R) to (S) or (S) to (R).

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The percentage composition of a mixture of (R) and (S)2iodobutane.

Interpretation: The percentage composition of a mixture of (R) and (S)2iodobutane is to be calculated on the basis of the given information.

Concept introduction: The enantiomers of a chiral compound can be named with the help of right hand and left hand configuration. In fisher projection, chiral carbon atom is represented by a cross. When two groups on a fisher projection are interchanged, the configuration of chiral carbon also changes from (R) to (S) or (S) to (R).
