Which of the following compounds is chiral?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C
In options (b) and (d), they do not have either centre of symmetry or plane of symmetry. Hence, they are chiral. They also have a chiral carbon.
Compound (a) has chiral carbon but it possess centre of symmetry. So, it lacks chirality.
Compound (c) has a plane of symmetry.
Hence, (b) and (d) are chiral compounds.
