A pair of compounds having the same boiling points are
- A cis but-2-ene and trans but-2-ene
- B \(n\)-hexane and neo-hexane
- C benzene and naphthalene
- D \((+)\) butan-2-ol and (-) butan-2-ol
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \((+)\) butan-2-ol and (-) butan-2-ol
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(d\)-and \(l\)-isomers (enantiomers) have identical
chemical and physical properties. They are indistinguishable from each other except for the direction of rotation of the plane polarised light. Thus ( + ) butan-2-ol and (-) butan-2-ol will have same boiling points.
