Question#2

Would a 50:50 mixture of (2R,3R)-2,3-dibromobutane and (2R,3S)-2,3-dibromobutane be optically active? Explain. Essay answers are limited to about 500 words (3800 characters maximum, including spaces). 3800 Character(s) remaining Methyl groups are usually electron-donating, and propanoic acid is a weaker acid than acetic acid. Yet 2,6-dimethylbenzoic acid is a stronger acid than benzoic acid, but 2,6-dimethylphenol is a weaker acid than phenol. Explain these confusing experimental results. Essay answers are limited to about 500 words (3800 characters maximum, including spaces). 3800 Character(s) remaining

Explanation / Answer

1)it is optically active

because final otical rotation does not cancelled

2) in 2,6-dimethyl benzoic acid ortho effect is present due to this irrespective of donating or withdrawing gps 2,6-dimethyl benzoic can donate proto easily (stearic hindrance)
