Question
Chapter 6, Problem 31P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The rate of racemization of
Concept introduction:
The conversion of optically pure molecule into the mixture of enantiomers (i.e. racemic mixture) is called racemization.
The change in absolute configuration at the chirality center in the substitution reaction is called inversion of configuration.
If the absolute configuration at the chirality center remains same in the substitution reaction, it is called retention of configuration.
