Question
Chapter 4.9, Problem 30P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
From the given information, the configuration of naproxen should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Enantiomeric excess:
The equal amount of isomers in the mixture is called racemic mixture and it has 0 specific rotation so it is optically inactive value.
If a mixture contains unequal mixture of isomers means it can be optically active but the specific rotation value can varied by which enantiomer is present more than other isomer.
The excess of one isomer than other isomer in the mixture is known as enantiomeric excess (ee %), it is given by

Naproxen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that is the active ingredient in Aleve (p. 115), has a specific rotation of +66. One commercial preparation results in a mixture with a 97% enantiomeric excess. a. Does naproxen have the R or the S configuration? b. What percent of each enantiomer is obtained from the commercial preparation?
(S)-(+)-Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a flavor enhancer used in many foods. Some people have an allergic reaction to MSG (including headache, chest pain, and an overall feeling of weakness). Fast food often contains substantial amounts of MSG, which is widely used in Chinese food as well. (S)-(+)-MSG has a specific rotation of +24.a. What is the specific rotation of (R)-(-)-monosodium glutamate? b. What is the specific rotation of a racemic mixture of MSG?
Glutamic acid is a naturally occurring amino acid and isthe precursor to the food additive MSG (monosodium glutamate)which can cause allergic reactions in some people. If naturally occurring L glutamic acid has a melting point of 205 C and an optical rotation of + 31.5, what is the melting point and optical rotation of its enantiomer?
