Some Basic Principles Of Organic Chemistry Question 286
Question: Which of the following has chiral structure
Options:
A) $ CH_3-\overset{CH_3}{\mathop{\overset{|,}{\mathop{CH-,}},}},CH_2COOH $
B) $ CH_3-CH=CH-CH_3 $
C) $ CH_3-\overset{CH_3}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{CH-,}},}},CH_2OH $
D) $ CH_3-CHOH-CH_2CH_3 $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
$ CH_3-\underset{OH}{\overset{H}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{{C^{*}},}}},}}},-CH_2-CH_3 $ Chiral structure is that in which one carbon atom is attached to 4 different atoms or groups.
