The number of enantiomers of the compound

C{H_3}CH(Br)CH\left( {Br} \right)COOH

is:

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

The correct answer is 4 because the compound has two chiral centers, and since there is no plane of symmetry, the number of stereoisomers (enantiomers) is 2^n = 2² = 4.

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
