Explain optical activity of 2-chlorobutan |
|
Answer» 2-chlorobutane is an optically ACTIVE molecule. the CARBON numbered as 2 in the molecule is chiral as it has different substituents [-c2h5, ch3, H, Cl] attached to it. thus it rotates plane polarised LIGHT in different directions GIVING rise to two enantiomers [R, S] of the compound. |
