Question
Chapter 25, Problem 52PP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Why optically active amino acids undergo racemization when treated with strong base need to be identified and a mechanism for the same has to be provided.
Concept introduction:
Racemization is a process in which the optically active compound is made optically inactive. In racemic compound the opposite enantiomers are present exactly in 50:50 ratio. Racemic compound cannot rotate the plane polarized light as the rotation cancels each other.
