In which of the following compounds is geometrical isomerism possible ?

(1) CH₂=CH-CH₃ (2) CH₃O-CH=CH-COCH₃ (3) BrCH₂-CH=CH-CH₂Cl

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

(1) Propene has a terminal =CH₂ group, so no GI. (2) CH₃O-CH=CH-COCH₃ : each double-bond carbon carries H plus a different group, so GI is possible. (3) BrCH₂-CH=CH-CH₂Cl : each double-bond carbon carries H and a different group, so GI is possible.

Ans. (2) and (3) only
