Under certain conditions, when (R)-2-bromobutane is heated with water, the SN1substitutionproceeds twice as fast as the SN2. Calculate the e.e. and the specific rotation expected for theproduct. The specific rotation of (R)-butan-2-ol is . Assume that the SN1 gives equalamounts of the two enantiomers.
