Find out the total number of stereocentre in the given compound.
CH3-CH=CH-CH(OH)-CH3
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
CH3-CH=CH-CH(OH)-CH3 (pent-3-en-2-ol) has one asymmetric sp3 carbon (the carbinyl carbon bearing H, OH, CH3 and CH=CHCH3), and the C=C is stereogenic because each alkene carbon bears two different groups - contributing two more stereocentres. Total = 1 + 2 = 3.
Ans. (C) 3.
