Interpretation:
Whether the product obtained by the bromination of optically active (R)-2-phenylpropanoic acid under Hell-Volhard-Zelinski conditions is optically active or racemic is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Hell-Volhard-Zelinski reaction takes place through the formation of an acid bromide enol intermediate. If the chiral carbon of the optically active
