Question

Number of Steriosomers of the compountd 2-chloro-4-methylhex-2-ene is/are

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 4
• D. 16

Answer 1

The correct option is C

4

$\stackrel{1}{C}{H}_3-\underset{Cl}{\underset{|}{\stackrel{2}{C}}}=\stackrel{3}{C}H-\underset{C{H}_3}{\underset{|}{\stackrel{4}{CH}}}-\stackrel{5}{C}{H}_2-\stackrel{6}{C}{H}_3$ ;

$2^{n}d$ &$3^{r}d$ carbons exhibit geometrical isomerism, 2 geometrical isomers are possible. $4^{t}h$ carbon exhibits optical isomers possible are 2.
