Which of the following is NOT optically active compound?
- A 1,2-Diiodobutane
- B 1,3-Diiodobutane
- C 1,4-Diiodobutane
- D 2,3-Diiodobutane
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 1,4-Diiodobutane
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
1,4-Diidobutane has plane of symmetry. Thus, it does not rotate the plane of plane polarized light and is optically inactive.
