Question:
Sodium hydrogen (S)-glutamate [(S)-monosodium glutamate], [a]D25oC = +24, is the active flavor enhancer known as MSG. The condensed formula of MSG is shown in the margin,
(a) Draw the structure of the S enantiomer of MSG.
(b) If a commercial sample of MSG were found to have a [a]D25oC = +8. what would be its optical purity?"What would be the percentages of the S and R enantiomers in the mixture?
(c) Answer the same questions for a sample with [a]D25oC = +16.
