The formation of an optically active compound from a chiral molecule is called:
Aasymmetric synthesis
Correct Answer
Bresolution
CWalden inversion
Depimerisation
Solution
The formation of an optically active compound from a chiral molecule is called asymmetric synthesis.
It is also called enantioselective synthesis or chiral synthesis or asymmetric synthesis. It is a chemical reaction (or reaction sequence) in which one or more new elements of chirality are formed in a substrate molecule and which produces the stereoisomeric (enantiomeric or diastereoisomeric) products in unequal amount. An example of asymmetric synthesis is as shown.
