when (-)-2-methyl butan-1-ol is heated with conc. HCI (+)-1-chloro-2- methyl butane is obtained .The reaction is an example of :

A

Retention

B

Inversion

C

Racemisation

D

Resolution

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
During this reaction, no bond at the stereocentre is broken, thus the product have the same general configuration of atoms or groups i.e., retention of configuration though sign of optical rotation has changed.
