Consider the following organic compound
`overset(1)CH_(3)overset(2)CH_(2)overset(3)CH_(2)overset(4)CH_(2)overset(5)CH_(2)overset(6)CH_(2)overset(7)CH_(3)`
To make it a chiral compound, the attack should be on carbon

A

`7`

B

`3`

C

`4`

D

`1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Compound becomes chiral if its molecule carries just one asymmetric carbon atom. Therefore, an attack on `C-3` will make it chiral:
`CH_(3)CH_(2)overset(**)underset(X)underset(|)CHCH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(3)`
