    Which of the following compound is expected to be optically active?

    A)  \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}CHCHO\]

    B)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}CHO\]

    C)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}CHBrCHO\]

    D)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}CB{{r}_{2}}CHO\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Compounds having asymmetric C-atom is optically active e.g., \[C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}{{-}^{*}}\underset{Br}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{\overset{H}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,}}\,}}\,-CHO\] The C-atom whose four valencies are satisfied by four different groups is asymmetric C-tom.
