Structures of (S)-(−)-2-methyl-1-butanol and (S)-(+)-2-methylbutanoic acid for optical activity analysis.

Accepted Answer

(S)-(−)-2-methyl-1-butanol is levorotatory

(S)-(+)-2-methylbutanoic acid is dextrorotatory.

Answer

(S)-(−)-2-methyl-1-butanol is dextrorotatory

(S)-(+)-2-methylbutanoic acid is levorotatory.

Answer

Both of these isomers are dextrorotatory.

Answer

Both of these isomers are levorotatory.
