Clopidogrel is the generic name for Plavix, a drug used to prevent the formation of blood clots in patients that have a history of heart attacks or strokes. A single enantiomer of clopidogrel can be prepared in three steps from the chiral α-hydroxy acid A. Identify B and C in the following reaction sequence, and designate the configuration of the enantiomer formed by this route as R or S.
An attempt at synthesizing a certain optically-active compound resulted in a mixture of its enantiomers. The mixture had an observed specific rotation of +11.5°+11.5°. If it is known that the specific rotation of the ?R enantiomer is −38.0°−38.0°, determine the percentage of each isomer in the mixture.
The specific rotation of (S)-2-iodobutane is +15.90°. Draw the structure of (S)-2-iodobutane.
