Best answer
  • 2-bromobutane is optically active and it undergoes SN1 reaction with aqueous KOH.
  • The product obtained will be an optically inactive racemic mixture. 
  • As nucleophilic reagent OH- ion can attack the carbocation from both sides to form equal proportions of dextro and levo rotatory optically active isomers, it results in the formation of optically inactive racemic mixture
