Pure (5R,6R)-5,6-di-tert-butyldecane has a specific rotation of +53. A student tried to synthesize the compound in lab and found that her sample had a specific rotation of -33. a. What would be the specific rotation for an enantiomerically pure sample of (5S,6S)-5,6-di-tert-butyldecane? b. What is the %ee of the solution? Which enantiomer is in excess? c. What is the specific rotation of (5S,6R)-5,6-di-tert-butyldecane?
