Racemisation

Vedclass · Answer

(C) The process of converting one enantiomer (e.g.,$d$-form) into a mixture containing both enantiomers ($d$ and $l$ forms) in equal proportions is known as $Racemisation$. If the question refers specifically to the inversion of configuration at a chiral center during a reaction (like $S_N2$),it is called $Walden 	ext{ } Inversion$. However,the conversion of a pure optical isomer into a racemic mixture is defined as $Racemisation$.

The process of conversion of the $d$-form of an optically active compound into its $l$-form or vice versa is known as ......
