Question

The number of enantiomers of the compound
CH₃ CHBr CHBrCOOH is :
(a) 2 (b) 3
(c) 4 (d) 6

Answer 1

The total number of enentiomers in the compound are 4.

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Enantiomers are defined as:

Each pair of a  molecule which are mirror images of each other are known as enanitomers.

Thus the molecules are exact copy of another pair of the same molecule.

In CH₃ CHBr CHBrCOOH there are 2 chiral carbons.

Therefore the number of ennatiomers are = 2^2 = 4

Thus the total number of enentiomers in the compound are 4.
