WHAT DOES LAEVOROTATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Dextrorotation and levorotation

Dextrorotation and levorotation refer to the properties of rotating plane polarized light. If the light rotates clockwise as it approaches an observer, this is known as dextrorotation, light with a rotation to the right. If the light rotates counterclockwise as it approaches the observer, then the light exhibits levorotation, rotation to the left. A compound with dextrorotation is called dextrorotatory or dextrorotary, while a compound with levorotation is called levorotatory or levorotary. Compounds with these properties are said to have optical activity and consist of chiral molecules. If a chiral molecule is dextrorotary, its enantiomer will be levorotary, and vice-versa. In fact, the enantiomers will rotate plane polarized light the same number of degrees, but in opposite directions. Apart from direct measurement of the optical rotation of an actual sample, it is only possible to determine whether a given chiral molecule will be levorotatory or dextrorotatory, directly from its absolute configuration, via detailed computer modeling. That is to say, both "R" and "S" stereocenters have the ability to be dextrorotatory or levorotatory.

Definition of laevorotation in the English dictionary

The definition of laevorotation in the dictionary is a rotation to the left. Other definition of laevorotation is an anticlockwise rotation of the plane of polarization of plane-polarized light as a result of its passage through a crystal, liquid, or solution.

In the D-series of sugars having laevorotation, it is the p-anomer which has a higher laevorotation. Thus fructose having a specific rotation of -20° will be a-D (- ) fructose and the other one with a specific rotation of -133° will be the P-anomer.
