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