    A student has isolated a chiral alkyl halide (shown below) with a specific rotation of [alpha] = +22.1 degrees. The student decided to store the compound in the solvent MeOH overnight. However, reanalysis of the alkyl halide showed a new chemical formula of C11H16O with a specific rotation of [alpha] = 0 degrees. Suggest a mechanism to justify these results.

    Consider the two reactions below for the optically active alkyl halide, (R)-2-chloropentane. The first reaction occurs rapidly at room temperature and gives an optically active product. The second reaction, starting with the same alkyl halide, occurs slowly at room temperature and gives a non-optically active product (racemic mixture). Draw a mechanism (include all H's and lone pairs) for cach reaction and explain how the mechanism leads to the observed results. Hics CHES- CH.OH CH,OH

    Please help with pre-lab questions. Pre-Lab Questions: 1. A sample of 2-butanol has a specific rotation of +3.25. Determine the optical purity (%ee) and percent composition of this sample (see Mohrig section 17.4). The specific rotation of pure (+)-2-butanol is +13.0°. 2. The equation for the formation of the diastereomeric salts is shown in the background information (performed in Part A of the procedure). Write this chemical equation in your notebook, then ALSO write a balanced equation for the formation...
