A sample of optically active alcohol has a specific rotation, `[alpha]_(D)^(25)`, equal to `+1.151^(@)`. Specific rotation for pure form `[alpha]_(D)^(25)` is `+5.756^(@)`.
What is the percentage enantiomeric excess of the sample?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the percentage enantiomeric excess of the sample, we can use the following formula: \[ \text{Percentage Enantiomeric Excess} = \left( \frac{\text{Observed Rotation}}{\text{Specific Rotation of Pure Enantiomers}} \right) \times 100 \] ### Step-by-step Solution: ...

D (+) Glucose has melting point 146^@ C and specific rotation [alpha]_(D)^(25) is + 112^@ C. Another D(+) Glucose has melting point 150^@ C and specific rotational [alpha]_(D)^(25) is + 18.7^@ C. The two form have significantly different optical rotation but when an aqueous solution of either form is allowed to stand, it rotation changes. The specific rotation of one form decreases and rotation of other increases until both solution show the same value +52.7^@ . The change in rotation towards an equilibrium value is called mutarotation. Mutarotation is characteristic feature of:

An organic compound P exists in two enantiomeric forms, which have specific optical rotation values [alpha] = +-100^(@) . The optical rotation of a mixture of these two enantiomers is -50^(@) . Calculate the percentage of that enantiomer which is in lower concentration in the mixture.

Compound which rotates the plane polarised light is known as optically active compound . On the basis of direction of rotation two forms of an optically active compounds are termed as dextro and laevo rotatory . The two are termed as enantiomers . If we have a 1 : 1 mixture of d and l isomers of a given chiral compound , optical rotation of such mixture is zero Such a mixture is optically inactive and is called a recemic modification. The net specific rotation of any mixture of the d and isomers of a given chiral compound is equal to the weighted average of the rotations due to both the isomers Mathematically if can be expressed as : [alpha]_(net) =f_(d) [alpha_(d)] + f_(1) [alpha_(l)] Where f_(a) and f_(l) are fractions of d and l isomers respectively and [alpha_(d)] , [alpha_(l)] are their specific rotations The pure d isomer of certain chiral compound has [alpha]_(d)^(25) =+ 55^(@) .A non racemic mixture of this compound has a net [alpha]_(d)^(25) =- 11^(@) . What is the fractions of this isomer in mixture ?
