optical....organic doubts.....

this might be silly bt this is my dbt..

suppose an optically active substrate undergoes a reaction such that the configuration is retained i.e. no bonds of the chiral atom is broken

now is this true that if an (S)(+) is reacting then the compound formed is always either a (S)(-) or a (R)(+)

examples: 1) (S)-(-)-2-Methyl-1-butanol forms (S)-(+)-2-Methyl-1-butanoic acid

2) (S)-(-)-2-Methyl-1-butanol forms (S)-(+)-1-Chloro-2-methylbutane

concurring doubt...

what is formed wen (S)-(+)-sec-Butylchloride reacts with Cl2 in presence of light..

is it
a) (R)-(+)-1,2-Dichlorobutane or,
b) (R)-(-)-1,2-Dichlorobutane???

zzzzzzzzzzzz ·

is it 1,2 dichlorobutane or 2,3 dichlorobutane??????

becoz secondary radical is more stable dan primary.....

well, optical rotation (+ or -) is pure experimental....we can't predict de rotation.......
