A

Optically active mixture

B

Pure enantiomers

C

Meso compound

D

Racemic mixture

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The optically active acid will react with d and l from of alcohol present in the racemic mixture at different rates to from two diastereomers in unequal amounts leading to optical activity of the product.
