Question

Can you theoretically determine if a compound is dextrorotary or laevorotary

Answer 1

Answer:

If a compound is dextrorotatory, its mirror image counterpart is levorotatory. That is, it rotates the plane of polarized light counterclockwise (to the left). It is entirely possible that an L- labeled compound is dextrorotatory, however, so L- does not necessarily mean levorotatory
