Match the following :

Column I (Compound)

Column II (Number of stereocenter)

(A) structure

(P) 4

(B) structure

(Q) 1

(C) structure

(R) 3

(D) structure

(S) Shows G.I.

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Ans. A S; B P, S; C S; D R, S.

A (3-methylcyclopentan-1-ol): C1 (OH) and C3 (CH3) are stereocentres (2 - not listed); cis/trans pairs exist, so it shows geometrical isomerism : S.

B (2,3,5,6-tetramethylcyclohexan-1-one): C2, C3, C5 and C6 are stereocentres (4) and cis/trans diastereomeric pairs exist : P, S.

C (2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol): C1 and C2 are stereocentres (2 - not listed); cis/trans pairs exist : S.

D (1,2,3-tribromocyclohexane): C1, C2 and C3 are stereocentres (3) and cis/trans diastereomeric pairs exist : R, S.
