Compound which rotates the plane polarised light is known as optically active compound . On the basis of direction of rotation two forms of an optically active compounds are termed as dextro and laevo rotatory . The two are termed as enantiomers . If we have a 1 : 1 mixture of d and l isomers of a given chiral compound , optical rotation of such mixture is zero Such a mixture is optically inactive and is called a recemic modification. The net specific rotation of any mixture of the d and isomers of a given chiral compound is equal to the weighted average of the rotations due to both the isomers Mathematically if can be expressed as : [alpha]_(net) =f_(d) [alpha_(d)] + f_(1) [alpha_(l)] Where f_(a) and f_(l) are fractions of d and l isomers respectively and [alpha_(d)] , [alpha_(l)] are their specific rotations The pure d isomer of certain chiral compound has [alpha]_(d)^(25) =+ 55^(@) .A non racemic mixture of this compound has a net [alpha]_(d)^(25) =- 11^(@) . What is the fractions of this isomer in mixture ?

A schematic analysis of the reaction of the enantiomer with racemic mixture is shows below: {:(d,+,"d and l",rarr,(d)-(d)),("The(+)-form of",,"A racemic mixture of",,+),("chiral molecules",,"other molecules with",,(d)-(l)),(,,50%(d) and 50%(l),,):} The products (d-d) and (d-l) are clearly neither identical nor enantiomers (non-superimposable mirror images) as the diastereomers, stereoisomers that are not mirror images' . The formation of diasteromers allows the separation of enantiomers (called resolution) which is not easy as enantiomers have identical physical properties. One general with naturally occurring chiral molecule to form a pair of diastereomers. These can be separated easily as they have different physical properties. If the original chemical reaction can be reversed, the enantiomers can be isolated. Which of the following is an example of diastereomers ?
