Question

Butane-2,3-diol has two chiral carbon. One of the stereoisomers of butane-2,3-diol exhibited specific rotation of $13.0^{\circ}$. Other stereoisomers will exhibit optical rotation

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

Meso compound has 0 rotation. The enantiomer has $-13.0^\circ$. Hence $0$ and $-13.0$ degrees.
