special conditions so that the racemic compound converts entirely to a single
enantiomer.
insa
a) Describe a set of reaction conditions that might allow this to happen. You may not use
any chiral reagents.
b) If you used the method that I had in mind, you had no control over which enantiomer
would be obtained. However, only the enantiomer above is biologically active. How
could you modify your experiment to ensure that the desired enantiomer is obtained?
