Out of the following the alkene that exhibits optical isomerism is :

A

3-methyl-1-pentene

B

2-methyl-2-pentene

C

3-methyl-2-pentene

D

4-methyl-1-pentene

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`underset("3-Methyl-pent-1-ene")(H_(3)C - CH_(2) - underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(CH) - CH = CH_(2))`
is optically active because of chiral C.
