Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The method to determine the sign of rotation of the given sample is to be stated on the basis of the given information.

Concept introduction: The concentration of the compound affects the rotation of polarized light in Polarimeter. The rotation is also dependent upon the length of the cell and optical activity of the compound. Optical purity of a compound is measured by the enantiomeric excess.

To determine: The sign of rotation of the given sample on the basis of given information.

5. Propose a Synthesis for the molecule below. You may use any starting materials containing 6 carbons or less (reagents that aren't incorporated into the final molecule such as PhзP do not count towards this total, and the starting material can have whatever non-carbon functional groups you want), and any of the reactions you have learned so far in organic chemistry I, II, and III. Your final answer should show each step separately, with intermediates and conditions clearly drawn. H3C CH3
