A) \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}CHCHO\]
B) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}CHO\]
C) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}CHBr\text{ }CHO\]
D) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}CB{{r}_{2}}CHO\]
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Compounds having asymmetric C-atom is optically active eg,\[C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}{{-}^{*}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\ Br \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix} H \\ | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}}\,-CHO\] The C-atom whose four valencies are satisfied by four different groups is termed as asymmetric C-atom.
