Chapter 20, Problem 20.39(choose chapter or problem)
A graduate student, Al Kane, has been given by his professor a very precious sample of (2)-3-methylhexane, along with optically active samples of both enantiomers of 4-methylhexanoic acid, each of known absolute configuration. Kane has been instructed to determine the absolute configuration of (2)-3-methylhexane. Kane has come to you for assistance. Show what he should do to deduce the configuration of the optically active hydrocarbon from the acids of known configuration. Be specific. (See Sec. 6.5.)
