Number of Carbon needed by a cycloalkene to show optical isomerism are:

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Ans. (A) 6.

Sol. The smallest chiral cycloalkene is 3-methylcyclopent-1-ene: C3 carries H, CH3 and two different ring paths (towards and away from the double bond). Total carbons = 5 (ring) + 1 (methyl) = 6.
