Consider the following organic compound `overset(1)CH_(3)overset(2)CH_(2)overset(3)CH_(2)overset(4)CH_(2)overset(5)CH_(2)overset(6)CH_(2)overset(7)CH_(3)` To make it a chiral compound, the attack should be on carbonA. `7`B. `3`C. `4`D. `1`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Compound becomes chiral if its molecule carries just one asymmetric carbon atom. Therefore, an attack on `C-3` will make it chiral:
`CH_(3)CH_(2)overset(**)underset(X)underset(|)CHCH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(3)`
