Question
Explanation / Answer
(13) C is correct. the 2 C-atoms attached to R groups form one group while the remaining 4 form the other group. Thus this compound will give 2 signals.
(14) D is correct because none of the above compounds are optically active. Meso tartaric acid has a plane of symmetry, while 3-methyl-3-pentanol doesnt; have any chiral centre.
(15) B is correct, because it is the most substituted alkene and according to Zaitsev's rule it is the favored product
(16) C is correct, because this is a general separation technique in which a racemic mixturee is treated with an enantiomerically pure compound, and the result is that the enantiomers of the racemic mixture get converted to diastereomers which can then be easily separated.
