(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The mechanism for the racemisation of 2bromobutane with a solution of KBr.

Interpretation: The mechanism for the racemisation of 2bromobutane with a solution of KBr is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The stereoisomers that possess the mirror images of each other which are not superimposable or not identical to each other are termed as enantiomers.

The process of producing the equal mixture of possible enantiomers if any compound undergoes a transformation is termed as racemization. And the resultant mixture is known as racemic mixture.

The characteristic of rotating the plane polarized light by any compound is termed as optical activity of that compound.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The reason corresponding to the fact that the reaction of optically active butan2ol with the solution of KOH does not undergo racemisation like that in part (a).
