Predict the chirality of the shown compounds.(a) Both A and B are chiral(b) Both A and B are achiral(c) A is chiral and B is achiral(d) A is achiral and B is chiralThe question was posed to me in an interview.I want to ask this question from Haloalkanes & Haloarenes topic in portion Haloalkanes and Haloarenes of Chemistry – Class 12 |

Answer» CORRECT answer is (c) A is CHIRAL and B is achiral To elaborate: The C ATOM that is attached to the OH group in compound A is a stereocenter and MAKES the compound A chiral. On the other hand, compound B does not have any asymmetric carbon. |
