D) dis trans- isomers Predict the specific rotation of the CHs 8) Because both asymumetric centers are R. tment D)Zero; the compound is achiral HjC lly the compound is dextrorotatory e centers are S, the compound is levorot are Because both asymmetric atory Because Which of the following spedies is the least nucleop , Which of the following compounds is the most rucleophil A) H20 BF3 B) CH3OH C) H20 D) CH3O- E) CN- E) BF3 not capable of undergoing an E2 reaction upon treatment with Why is the alkyl halide below sodium ethoxide? A) Br is too poor a leaving group. B) The substrate is too hindered C) Too much angle strain would be present in the alkene product. Sodium ethoxide is a poor base to use in E2 reactions. E The C-H and C-Br bonds which need to break cannot achieve an anti-periplanar ormentation

Explanation / Answer

2) Specific rotation is the characteristic feature of optically active compound and an optically active compound should not have mirror plane symmetry (i.e.- one half of the molecule is the mirror image of the other half). The compound given has mirror plane symmetry and hence is not optically active. As a result of which, the specific rotation of the molecule is zero and is achiral.
