If molecule is pyramidal, X stereoisomers are possible for : Cabde. Find the value of X.

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Ans. (A) X = 6.

Sol. In a pyramidal Cabde molecule the four different groups can be arranged around the pyramid in three distinct diastereomeric arrangements (fixing different pairs of groups trans to each other). Each arrangement has one non-superimposable mirror image, so total stereoisomers = 3 x 2 = 6.
