An enantiomerically pure acid is treated...

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

A

Optically active mixture

B

Pure enantiomer

C

Meso compound

D

Recemic mixture

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The poptaically active acid will react with `d and l` forms of alcohol present in the recemic mixture at different rates to form two diastereomers in unequal amount leading to optical activity of the product.
