Plane-Polarized Light
3-37
Plane-Polarized Light
plane-polarized light is the vector sum of left and right
circularly polarized light
circularly polarized light reacts one way with an R
chiral center, and the opposite way with its enantiomer
the result of interaction of plane-polarized light with a
chiral compound is rotation of the plane of polarization

Optical Activity
observed rotation: the number of degrees, , through
which a compound rotates the plane of polarized light
dextrorotatory (+): refers to a compound that rotates
the plane of polarized light to the right
levorotatory (-): refers to a compound that rotates of
the plane of polarized light to the left
specific rotation: observed rotation when a pure
sample is placed in a tube 1.0 dm in length and
concentration in g/mL (density); for a solution,
concentration is expressed in g/ 100 mL

Amino Acids
the 20 most common amino acids have a central
carbon, called an -carbon, bonded to an NH2 group
and a COOH group
in 19 of the 20, the -carbon is a chiral center
18 of the 19 -carbons have the R configuration, one
has the S configuration
in the D,L system, all have the L configuration
at neutral pH, an amino acid exists as an internal salt
in this structural formula, the symbol R = a side chain
