How to Convert specific optical rotation value to Enantiomer purity Value

How to Convert specific optical rotation value to Enantiomer purity Value

In Pharmaceutical compound Enantiomer purity is so much important which can  be only identified by Chiral HPLC chromatography (normal phase H!PLC)
the enantiomer or isomers (R-Isomer or S-Isomer) out of two isomers depends on the API only one should be desired and other is undesired.
If we have SOR value of the compound then we can easily calculate the isomer content
Below is the calculation

step-1

SOR/Purity of standard x 100

Step-2

100- step-1 result

Step-3

Step-2 result /2

step-4

S-isomer =step 1 + step 3

R isomer = 100- S isomer
