####54. In the following monobromination reaction, the number of possible chiral product(s) is (are)…
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 54. (5)
Solution:
- Given compound undergoes free-radical bromination under given conditions, replacing $H$ by $Br$.
$C^{*}$ is chiral carbon.
I. Chiral
Achiral
III. Chiral
Chiral
V. Chiral
(III) has two chiral centres and can have two structures.
(III) A
(III) B (IV) has also two chiral centres and can have two structures.
It has plane of symmetry thus, achiral.
Thus, chiral compounds are five. I, III A, III B, IV B and V.
