Question

Inversion center is present in ___________

2,2 dichloro-2,2 difluoroethane

1,2 dichloro-3,4 difluoroethane

1,2 dichloro-1,2difluroethane

2,3 dichloro-2,3 difluoroethane

​

Answer 1

Explanation:

For solving this question, One thing always keep in mind -

• Inversion takes place in that compound where chiral centers are present.

So,

Here we need to check which compound have chiral carbon (i.e, 4 different attachments)

Compound A:

2,2-dichloro-2,2diflouro ethane

This compound isn't possible to draw.

Compound B:

1,2-dichloro-3,4-difluoro ethane

This compound isn't possible to draw because it's only 2-C compound.

Compound C:

1,2-dichloro-1,2-difluoro ethane

This compound is possible to draw

Str:

F F

| |

Cl–C–C–Cl

H H

It contains chiral carbon.

So, Here, Inversion takes place

Compound D:

2,3-dichloro-2,3-difluoro ethane

This compound isn't possible to draw because here it's only 2-C compound.

Therefore,

Option C is correct✔
