Question

A new hydrocarbon was recently discovered. This hydrocarbon was analyzed and found to be a racemate which makes an orange solution. One of the compounds in the racemate was found to be (3R,4S,9R)-Mysteryane.

(a.) What is the name of the other compound in the racemate?

(b.) Describe how to separate the Mysteryane's from each other for lab analysis.

(c.) Some people say that (3R,4S,9R)-Mysteryane can sometimes leave a bitter taste in one's mouth. Can the same be said for its racemate?

(d.) (3R,4S,9R)-Mysteryane boils easily at 29 C. What can be said about the boiling point of (3S,4R,9S)-Mysteryane?

Answer 1

a) the name of other enantiomer is (3S, 4R, 9S) MYSTERYNE

b) the enantiomer mixture has same physical and chemical properties we can separate by forming the mixture to diasteriomers.

*diasteriomers has different physical properties like solublity,

C) recimic mixture have same physical and chemical properties. So taste also same

d) (3R, 4S, 9R) ENANTIOMER AND (3S, 4R, 9S) ENANTIOMER HAVE SAME physical and chemical properties like BOILING POINT 29degrees.

can any doubt reply I can answer.

thank you
