If the enantiomeric excess of a mixture is 75%, what are the % compositions of the major and minor enantiomer?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Maru [420]3 years ago
7 0

Let us say that R is the major enantiomer, while S is the minor enantiomer, therefore the formula for enantiomeric excess (ee) is:

ee = (R – S) * 100%

 

Let us further say that the fraction of R is x (R = x), and therefore fraction of S is 1 – x (S = 1 – x), therefore:

75 = (x – (1 – x)) * 100

75 = 100 x – 100 + 100 x

200 x = 175

x = 0.875

 

Summary of answers:

R = major enantiomer = 0.875 or 87.5%

<span>S = minor enantiomer = (1 – 0.875) = 0.125 or 12.5%</span>
