Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of an optically active compound C6H12O that racemizes in base is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The carbonyl compound racemizes in the presence of base if their optical activity depends on the chirality of the α-carbon. The optically active aldehyde racemize having chiral α-carbon because hydrogen can attach from either of two faces on the enolate ion formed.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The structure of an achiral compound C6H12O that does not give a positive Tollens test is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The carbonyl compound racemizes in the presence of base if their optical activity depends on the chirality of the α-carbon. The optically active aldehyde racemize having chiral α-carbon because hydrogen can attach from either of two faces on the enolate ion formed.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The structure of an optically active compound C6H12O that neither racemizes in base nor gives a positive Tollens test is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The carbonyl compound racemizes in the presence of base if their optical activity depends on the chirality of the α-carbon. The optically active aldehyde racemize having chiral α-carbon because hydrogen can attach from either of two faces on the enolate ion formed.
