Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total number of isomeric linear dipeptides which can be synthesised from racemic mixture of alanine are four \((4),\) by \((R)\) type and (S) type. (\(\because\) Has two chiral centres) i.e. The possible isomers are \[ (R R),(S R),(R S) \text { and }(S S) \] Hence, total (4)…
