While (S)-ibuprofen is the active ingredient, commercial ibuprofen is sold as a racemic drug because (R)-ibuprofen is non-toxic. Nonetheless research is ongoing to achieve enantiopurity as (S)-ibuprofen is 3 times as effective as the mixture and with less side-effects. Currently, a research lab published a method to produce (S)-ibuprofen that is 94% e.e. Which of the following statements is TRUE based on the information provided? The research lab's product contains 6% of (R)-ibuprofen. O Commercial ibuprofen has 50% enantiomeric excess. O The research lab's product sample will have a negative value for its observed rotation. O Commercial ibuprofen sample is optically inactive.
