How many following compounds are optically active?
Answer:
4
Solution:
Four structures are optically active: (i), (iv), (vi), and (vii).
(viii) is a 1,3-disubstituted cyclobutane. The two ring paths at each substituted vertex are equivalent.
It has a symmetry plane through those vertices and is achiral.
The remaining structures (ii), (iii), and (v) are also achiral.
