Problema 12

Limonene is a volatile liquid found in citrus fruits. The (R)-enantiomer is used as a flavoring agent in foods and fragrances in the cosmetic industry. Pure (R)-Limonene has a specific rotation [α]D = +115°. Predict the specific rotation of a mixture that contains 82.0 % (R) and 18.0 % (S).
Chemical structure of (R)-Limonene, relevant to chirality and enantiomer calculations.
