Solution
The correct option is A 8
Isomers of 3-methylpentane are four and stereoisomers are eight.
1-Chloro-3-methyl pentane-43%
2-Chloro-3-methyl pentane-29%(2 stereocenters and chiral molecule)
3-Chloro-3-methyl pentane-7.1%
1-Chloro-2-ethyl butane-21%.
Two stereoisomers give four enantiomers or two pairs. Each of the molecule in either pair of enantiomers is a diastereomer of either molecule in other pair. So in total 8 isomers are possible.
