    $\begingroup$ Are you asking for compound with smallest specific rotation? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ It seems you're asking if "a molecule with chiral centres can have zero optical activity?". But, I'm not sure. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I very much doubt that there is a compound with exactly zero activity. Meso compounds are achiral (by definition) even though they contain stereo centers. $\endgroup$
