If the optical rotation produced by the ...

If the optical rotation produced by the compound `(A)` is `+52^(@)`, the one produced by compound `(B)` is :

A

`-52^(@)`

B

`+52^(@)`

C

`0^(@)`

D

Unpredictable

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Since `(A)` and `(B)` are enantiomers, so specific rotation of `B` is `-52^(@)` (because enantiomers have equal and opposite specific rotation).
