The given compound has which Axis of Symmetry (Sn):
spiro[3.3]heptane
Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
Ans. (D) S4.
Sol. Spiro[3.3]heptane has its two identical rings locked perpendicular to each other (like the two ends of an allene, D2d). A 90 deg rotation about the axis through the spiro carbon followed by reflection in the plane perpendicular to it maps the molecule onto itself, so it possesses an S4 alternating axis.
