Question
Why dextro and laevo rotatory isomers of Butan-2-ol are difficult to separate by fractional distillation?
Advertisements
Solution
Dextro and laevorotatory isomers of butane-2-ol are difficult to separate by fractional distillation because of no difference in boiling points of these two rotatory isomers.

Three organic compounds A, B and C are non cyclic functional isomers of carbonyl compounds with molecular formula C4H8O. Isomers A and C give positive Tollen’s test while compound B does not give positive Tollen’s test but gives positive iodoform test. Compounds A and B on reduction with Zn amalgam and conc. HCl give the same product.
