An enantiomerically pure acid is treated with racemic mixture of an alcohol having one chiral carbon. The ester formed will be :

A

optically active misture

B

pure enantiomer

C

meso compound

D

racemic mixture

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The optically active acid will react with d- and l- forms of alcohol present in the racemic mixture at different rates to form two diastercomers in unequal quantities thus the product is optically active.
