An acidโbase reaction of (R)-sec-butylamine with a racemic mixture of 2-phenylpropanoic acid forms two products having different melting points and somewhat different solubilities. Draw the structure of these two products. Assign R and S to any stereogenic centers in the products. How are the two products related? Choose from enantiomers, diastereomers, constitutional isomers, or not isomers.
For the given ee values, calculate the percentage of each enantiomer present.
a. 90% ee
b. 99% ee
c. 60% ee
