The number of stereoisomers of Fenchone which can exist are:
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
Ans. (C) 2.
Sol. Fenchone has two stereocentres (the two bridgehead carbons), but the rigid bicyclic skeleton permits only one relative arrangement (the alternative bridgehead configuration cannot exist). Fenchone therefore exists only as one enantiomeric pair : 2 stereoisomers.
