How many geometrical isomers are possible of the compound with molecular formula C₂BrClFI ?
Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
Distributing the four different halogens over the two alkene carbons gives three connectivity pairs : BrClC=CFI, BrFC=CClI and BrIC=CClF. Each has four different substituents on the double bond, so each exists as an E and a Z isomer.
Total = 3 x 2 = 6.
Ans. 6
