Consider the following compound : CH3-CHBr-CHBr-CH2-CH3
What is the number of stereoisomers possible for the above compound?
Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
Ans. (D) 4.
Sol. 2,3-Dibromopentane, CH3-CHBr-CHBr-CH2-CH3, has two stereocentres, and the two centres carry different sets of substituents (the two ends of the chain differ), so no internal compensation and no meso form is possible. Number of stereoisomers = 22 = 4.
