Explain why when a solution of (S)-3-phenyl-2-butanone in aqueous ethanol is treated with acids or bases it gradually loses its optical activity. (b) Why does the racemization of the compound from the previous section in an acid medium occur at the same speed as the halogenation in an acid medium? (c) Why does the iodination of said compound in an acid medium occur at the same rate as acid-catalyzed bromination?
