Answer:

ye, it will be optically active

Step-by-step explanation:

a compound is said to be optically active if it can optically rotate.

the removal of carboxyl group and release of cabon dioxide from carboxylic acid in acetoacetate synthesis which will result in production of ketone as given the attachment below.

When the optically active carboxylic acid below is decarboxylated using the conditions-example-1
