Which one of the following is a chiral molecule?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B
Allene system with odd number of double bonds is optically inactive beacuse of plane of symmetry.
(a), (c) and (d) has plane of symmetry and are optically inactive. Allene in (b) has even number of double bonds and hence, it is chiral due to absence of symmetry element responsible for optical inactivity.
