Why would a product of a reaction not be optically active even though it contains a chiral carbon atom? (3 marks)
The nucleophile can approach from above and below the plane of the compound equally to form a racemic mixture of two enantiomers.
These enantiomers will rotate the plane of polarised light in opposite directions and cancel each other’s motion out, leading to no optical activity.
