Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Dicarboxylic acid obtained from the given reaction, is an enantiomer, a racemic mixture or a meso compound has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Enantiomers:

Stereoisomers having nonsuperposable mirror image relationship are called as enantiomers.

Meso compound:

A graduate student was studying enzymatic reductions of cyclohexanones when she encountered some interesting chemistry. When she used an enzyme and NADPH to reduce the following ketone, she was surprised to find that the product was optically active. She carefully repurified the product so that no enzyme, NADPH, or other contaminants were present. Still, the product was optically active. Does the product have any asymmetric carbon atoms or other stereocenters?
When carbonyl compounds are reduced with a reagent such as LiAlH4 or NaBH4 and a new stereogenic center is formed, what will the composition of the product mixture be?                       Forms more of one enantiomer than another because of steric reasons around the carbonyl Forms more of one enantiomer than another depending on the temperature of the reaction Forms different products depending on the solvent used Forms a racemic mixture of the two possible enantiomers
Complete the reaction by writing the main product or products that lead to the indicated product. If appropriate, assign the stereochemistry and configuration of the stereogenic units C6H6 CHO NH3 Nebir's N
