Question
Chapter 22.SE, Problem 52AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Whether optically active (S)-3-methylcyclohexanone will get racemized when treated with acid or base like 2-methylcyclohexanone is to be stated and explained.
Concept introduction:
During racemization the optically active compound first yields an achiral planar enol intermediate. When the intermediate reverts back to the chiral
