MCQ
How many chiral isomers can be drawn from $2-$bromo, $3-$chloro butane
  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $3$
  • $4$
  • D
    $5$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$4$
c
(c) $2-$bromo, $3-$chloro-butane has $2$ chiral carbon atoms, hence has ${2^2} = 4$ optical isomers.

$C{H_3} - \mathop {\mathop C\limits_|^| - }\limits_{H\;\,}^{Br} \mathop {\mathop C\limits_|^| - }\limits_{H\;\,}^{Cl\,} C{H_3}$
