3. ( 20 pts) An acid-base reaction between a racemic mixture of 2-phenylpropanoic acid and (R)-sec-butylamine forms two products with different properties. a. Draw the structures of these two products and assign \( R \) or \( \mathrm{S} \) to any chiral center. Indicate the relationship between these two products. b. If both reactants are racemic mixture, how many products can be formed? What are their relationships to each other?
Expert Answer
An acid base reaction between acid and amine undergone amide coupling to get the acid amine coupled product. In this case when the racemic mixture of 2-phenyl propanoic acid and R-sec bu
