How many chiral stereosimers are possible for 2-bromo-3-chlorobutane

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
4
`CH_(3)-underset(Br)underset(|)overset(**)(C)H-underset(Cl)underset(|)overset(**)(C)H-CH_(3)` since the compound has two different chiral carbons, therefore, `2^(2)=4` optical isomers are possible.
