A chemist synthesized compound X as a racemic mixture. When the ketone group in X was enzymatically reduced to the corresponding alcohol, a 100% yield was obtained of the product shown below. Choose the statement that best describes this result. ОН enzyme C;H1 `OCH,CH; pH 4.0 C3H1 `OCH,CH3 ОН ÕH X (racemic) (100% yield) One enantiomer of compound X reacts quickly with the enzyme. The other enantiomer of compound X is unreactive, but rapidly equilibrates with the reactive enantiomer under the reaction conditions. Since compound X was racemic, it makes sense that only a single product was obtained. O The product is a meso compound, so either enantiomer of compound X gives the same product. One enantiomer of compound X reacts quickly with the enzyme, while the other enantiomer of compound X remains unchanged.
When HOCH2CH2CH2CH2COCH2CH2CH2CH2OH is heated in the presence of an acid catalyst, a reaction occurs. This product has the formula C9H16)2. Provide the structure of this product.
Explain this statement: Although 2-methoxyacetic acid (CH3OCH2COOH) is a stronger acid than acetic acid (CH3COOH), p-methoxybenzoic acid (CH3OC6H4COOH) is a weaker acid than benzoic acid (C6H5COOH).
