Ques. 1JEE Main 2024, 27 January (Evening Shift)

Total number of compounds with Chiral carbon atoms from following is . [figure] CH3-CH2-CH(NO2)-COOH CH3-CH2-CHBr-CH2-CH3 CH3-CH(I)-CH2-NO2 CH3-CH2-CH(OH)-CH2OH CH3- I |CH-CH(I)-C2H5

Answer

5

Solution

Chiral carbon = sp3 C with four different groups (marked ∗):

[figure]

CH3-CH2- CH(NO2)-COOH ✓

CH3-CH2-CHBr-CH2-CH3: two C2H5 on C-3 ⇒ ✗

CH3- CH(I)-CH2-NO2 ✓

CH3-CH2- CH(OH)-CH2OH ✓

CH3- CH(I)- CH(I)-C2H5 ✓

∴ Compounds with chiral C = 5

Answer: 5
