Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 6.48SP
A solution of pure (S)-2-iodobutane ([α]=+15.90°) in acetone is allowed to react with radioactive iodide, 131|−, until 1.0% of the iodobutane contains radioactive iodine. The specific rotation of this recovered iodobutane is found to be +15.58°.
- a. Determine the percentages of (R)- and (S)-2-iodobutane in the product mixture.
- b. What does this result suggest about the mechanism of the reaction of 2-iodobutane with iodide ion?
