Question
Chapter 4.4, Problem 5P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The percentage of each enantiomer of limonene and percent enantiomeric excess is to be determined in the sample, which is
Concept introduction:
The percent enantiomeric excess is the difference between the percent of the major enantiomer and the minor enantiomer.
When a sample contains a chiral compound and one enantiomer is present in excess than the other, the sample is optically active.
When all the molecules have the same handedness, it is called enantiopure.
