  5. RACEMIC MIXTURE • An equimolar mixture of two enantiomers is called a racemic mixture (or racemate or racemic form). A racemic mixture causes no net rotation of plane-polarized light. • Figure 5.14 (a) A beam of plane-polarized light encounters a molecule of (R)-2-butanol, a chiral molecule. This encounter produces a slight rotation of the plane of polarization. (b) Exact cancellation of this rotation occurs if a molecule of (S)-2-butanol is encountered. (c) Net rotation of the plane of polarization occurs if (R)-2-butanol is present predominantly or exclusively.

  6. RACEMIC FORMS AND ENANTIOMERIC EXCESS • A sample of an optically active substance that consists of a single enantiomer is said to be enantiomerically pure or to have an enantiomeric excess of 100%. An enantiomerically pure sample of (S)-(+)-2-butanol shows a specific rotation of +13.52. • On the other hand, a sample of (S)-(+)-2-butanol that contains less than an equimolar amount of (R)-(-)-2-butanol will show a specific rotation that is less than +13.52 but greater than zero. Such a sample is said to have an enantiomeric excess less than 100%. • The enantiomeric excess (ee), also known as the optical purity, is defined as follows:
