Question
Chapter 13, Problem 37P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason behind the racemic mixture formed when (R)-4-methyl-3-hexanone is dissolved in an acidic or basic medium has to be explained.
Concept introduction: A racemic mixture is formed when a compound is dissolved in the acidic or basic medium. It is because in both acidic and basic medium the enolate anion is formed. Enolate anion is planar and attacks from both above and below the plane to give a racemic mixture.
