HO HO HCI, H20 ︿COOH + other products HO CN HO Hydrolysis OH Mandelic acid (a) Based on the number of chiral centers there are, how many possible stereoisomers could there be for the compound in the box? (a) Pure (S) mandelic acid has a specific rotation of +154. If a solution has [a]–50, (a) what is the % ee of the solution and what enantiomer is favored?; and (b) what percent of the enantiomers is detrorotatory?
