The specific rotation of a pure enantiomer is + 10 ° . The observed rotation, if it is isolated from a reaction with 30% racemisation and 70% inversion is
Options
- A+ 10 °
- B- 10 °
- C3 °
- D- 7 °
Correct answer
D. - 7 °
Step-by-step solution
Specific rotation of inverted isomer = - 10 ° Angle of rotation = ( S pecific rotation of inverted isomer ) × ( Fraction of inversion ) = - 10 × 70 100 = - 7 °
