How many chiral carbon atoms are present in 2-chloro-3,4,5-trimethylhexane?
- A 4
- B 3
- C 2
- D 1
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 3
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The structure of 2-chloro-3,4,5-trimethylhexane is: \( \text{CH}_3 - \text{CH}(\text{Cl}) - \text{CH}(\text{CH}_3) - \text{CH}(\text{CH}_3) - \text{CH}(\text{CH}_3) - \text{CH}_3 \) Carbon 2 is chiral: bonded to H, Cl, \( \text{CH}_3 \), and \( -\text{CH}(\text{CH}_3)\text{CH}(\text{CH}_3)\text{CH}(\text{CH}_3)\text{CH}_3 \).
