Question
Why dextro and laevorotatory isomers of Butan-2-ol are difficult to separate by fractional distillation?
Solution
Dextro and laevorotatory isomers of Butan-2-ol are enantiomers of each other and both have the same boiling point and hence they cannot be separated by fractional distillation.
