Interpretation: The reason corresponding to the fact that after the reaction of
Concept introduction: The stereoisomers that possess the mirror images of each other which are not superimposable or not identical to each other are termed as enantiomers.
The process of producing the equal mixture of possible enantiomers if any compound undergoes a transformation then this process is termed as racemization. The resultant mixture is known as racemic mixture.
The phenomenon by which a chiral molecule is observed to rotate the polarized light in either a clockwise direction or anticlockwise direction is called optical activity of that molecule.

- When (ft)-6-bromo-2,6-dimethylnonane is dissolved in CH3OH, nucleophilic substitution yields an optically inactive solution. When the isomeric halide (fl)-2-bromo-2,5- dimethylnonane is dissolved in CH3OH under the same conditions, nucleophilic substitution forms an optically active solution. Draw the products formed in each reaction, and explain why the difference in optical activity is observed.arrow_forwardTreatment of compound A (C8H17Br) with NaOCH2CH3 affords two constitutional isomers B and C. Ozonolysis of B affords CH2=O and (CH3CH2CH2)2C=O. Ozonolysis of C affords CH3CH2CH2COCH3 and CH3CH2CHO.
