An empirical relationship between the molecular rotations of optically active 2-halogenoalkanes
Abstract
Values for the optical rotations of enantiomerically pure 2-halogenopentanes are determined. Molecular rotations for these halides and for the previously prepared 2-halogenobutanes and 2-halogeno-octanes are reported at five wavelengths in the region 365–589 nm. and an empirical relationship between them is established.
