Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The result of the conversion reaction from optically active starting material to a product with an identical melting point and an optical rotation of equal magnitude and the opposite sign is consistent with either tetrahedral or pyramidal geometry at the asymmetric carbon is to be shown.

Concept introduction:

An atom that has four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as the chiral atom. Chiral centers are also called asymmetric or stereogenic centers. The chiral atom sometimes results in the formation of enantiomers which are the non-superimposable mirror images of each other.
