Number of optical isomer of lactic acid are
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B 2
The structure of lactic acid is :
Only one chiral centre is there in lactic acid. Hence two optical isomers are possible with configuration R and S. These two isomers are non-superimposable mirror images which is called as enantiomers.
