Specific Rotation in Organic Chemistry Formulas

The Specific Rotation of a compound is an intensive property that is used to quantify the enantiomeric excess of that compound. And is denoted by [α]_D. Specific Rotation is usually measured using the Degree Milliliter per Gram per Decimeter for Specific Rotation. Note that the value of Specific Rotation is always negative.
