A) \[4\]
B) \[1\]
C) \[2\]
D) \[3\]
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
The structure of 2, 3, 4-trichloro pentane is \[H-\underset{H}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{\overset{H}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,}}\,}}\,-\underset{H}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{\overset{H}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{{{C}^{*}}}}\,}}\,}}\,}}\,-\underset{H}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{\overset{H}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,}}\,}}\,-\underset{H}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{\overset{H}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{{{C}^{*}}}}\,}}\,}}\,}}\,-\underset{H}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{\overset{H}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,}}\,}}\,-H\] Hence, two chiral carbon atoms are present in 2, 3, 4-trichloropentane.
