    				| 1. | Which of the folloiwng is true for the given reaction? `(S)-C_(3)H_(7)CH(OH)CH=CH_(2)+H_(2)overset(Pt)rarrC_(3)H_(7)CH(OH)CH_(2)CH_(3)`A. The configuration is unchanged and the product is `R`B. The configuration is chnaged and the product is `S`C. The configuration is chnaged and product is `R`D. The configuration is unchanged and the product is `S` | 
| Answer» Correct Answer - A The configuration is unchanged because the bonds to the chiral carbon atom are undistured. The product is `R` since the priority sequncy changes. Like the reactant, the product is optically active. Note that the products and reactants will have different sepcific rotations and their signs may differ. specific rotations of reactants and products are independent of each other. | |
