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.
