I have no idea how to determine whether or not a product is optically active or not. Does it have to do with it being chiral?? How does it being optically active make a difference in a reaction?
Is there any question the DAT could ask other than "which of the following is optically active?"
Thanks
ALSO, is there a method to determine whether or not a product will undergo syn or anti addition? I'm never good with questions that shows the same answer differing in stereochemistry. All I know is that SN2 reactions attack from behind, thus inverting the product. Any advice is appreciated
