Which of the following compounds is not chiral?
- A 1 -chloro-2-methyl pentane
- B 2-chloropentane
- C 1-chloropentane
- D 3-chloro-2-methyl pentane
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 1-chloropentane
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
To be optically active, compound or structure should possess a chiral or asymmetric carbon atom.
Hence, 1 -chloropentane is not chiral.
Hence, 1 -chloropentane is not chiral.
