The number of asymmetric

\mathrm{C}

-atom created and number of possible stereoisomers when benzil

(\mathrm{Ph} \mathrm{COCO} \mathrm{Ph})

is reduced with

\mathrm{LiAlH}_4

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

2,3

Option A (2,3) is correct because the reduction of benzil with LiAlH4 creates two chiral carbon atoms, leading to three stereoisomers (two enantiomers and one meso compound).

Keto-enol tautomerism is not observe in How many isomers of

{C_5}{H_{11}}OH

will be primary alcohols? Which statement is true? Common reactions of benzene and its derivatives are: How many structural formulae are possible for

{\mathrm{C}_5}{\mathrm{H}_{11}}\mathrm{Cl}?

Assertion (A): The compounds that have the same constitution and sequence of covalent bonds but differ in relative positions of their atoms or groups in space are called stereoisomers.

Reason (R): Stereoisomerism is a special type of isomerism which can be classified as geometrical and optical isomerism
