In the monochlorination of 3-methylpentan, let x be the number of pairs of isomers which exist as enantiomers, y be the number of pairs of isomers which exist as diastereomers, z be the number of isomers which are achiral. Calculate the value of x+y+z.

Answer»


Solution :`CL-C-C-underset(*)overset(C) overset(|)(C)-C-Cto` one CHIRAL CARBON pair of enantiomers.

`C-C-overset("CC"L) overset(|)(C)-C-Cto` achiral MOLECULE
`C-C-underset(Cl)underset(|) overset(C) overset(|) (C)-C-Cto` achiral molecule
`x=3, y=4, z=2`
`x+y+z=9`
