Concept Introduction :
If one enantiomer dominates the other in a mixture of two, the excess of that enantiomer is then stated as a percentage of the total amount of that enantiomer. It also gives some information about the mixture's overall optical rotation.

Interpretation:
Common taste enhancer pure MSG has a specific rotation of +24.
If the ee of a solution of MSG is 80%, [

A) C) B) D)arrow_forwardClopidogrel is the generic name for Plavix, a drug used to prevent the formation of blood clots in patients that have a history of heart attacks or strokes. A single enantiomer of clopidogrel can be prepared in three steps from the chiral α-hydroxy acid A. Identify B and C in the following reaction sequence, and designate the configuration of the enantiomer formed by this route as R or S.arrow_forward
