The number of stereoisomers of Camphor which can exist are:
Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
Ans. (B) 2.
Sol. Camphor has two stereocentres (the two bridgehead carbons), but the rigid bicyclic skeleton permits only one relative arrangement (the trans-fused alternative cannot exist). Camphor therefore exists only as one enantiomeric pair : 2 stereoisomers.
