Chemistry - Halogen Derivative Question with Solution | TestHub
Given below are two statements, one is labelled asAssertion and the other is labelled asReasom .
Assertion :A solution of the product obtained by heating a mole of glycine with a mole of chlorine in presence of red phosphorous generates chiral carbon atom.
Reason :A molecule withchiral carbons is always optically active.
In the light of above statements, chose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
When glycine is treated with chlorine in presence of red phosphorus, reaction takes place i.e., substitution of chlorine takes place at alpha carbon.
A molecule with two chiral carbons is not always optically active. Suppose the following compound is having two chiral carbons but optically inactive due to internal compensation of optical rotation.
