5. Chirality / Calculations with Enantiomeric Percentages / Problem 1
Problem 1
The specific rotation of the S enantiomer of a proposed cancer treatment drug is −26.9°. A researcher attempted to synthesize an enantiopure form of the said drug but synthesized it with a specific rotation of −22.7°. Determine the (S)-to-(R) ratio of the drug synthesized by the researcher.
