I. Walden Inversions Involving the Isomeric 2,3-Butanediamenes and Related Compounds. II. An Experimental Test of Kirkwood's Theory of Optical Rotatory Power. III. Zero-Point Vibrational Contributions to the Optical Activity of Isotopically Asymmetric Molecules
<p>It has been demonstrated that reaction of ammonia with 1,2-dimethylethyleneimine is attended by single Walden inversion and that the analogous reaction of ammonia with 2,3-epoxybutane very probably proceeds in the same way. This result and other evidence have been used to assign configu...
