Question

In 2, 3, 4 – Tribromopentane, the number of chiral carbon atom present is​

Answer 1

Answer:

Above is the structure of 2,3,4−trichloropentane. Numbering can be done from any side because it does not make any difference.

Chiral carbon is a carbon atom that is attached to four different types of atoms or groups of atoms. Hence, C-1 and C-5 can't be chiral as they are connected to 3 hydrogen atoms.

C-3 is attached to two same groups on both sides, so it is also not a chiral carbon.

C-2 and C-4 are connected to 4 different groups,hence both are chiral carbon.

Hence, the answer is option B.
