Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`underset("3-Methylpent-2-ene")(CH_(3)-CH=underset(CH_(3))underset(|)C-CH_(2)CH_(3)) underset("peroxide")overset(HBr)to CH_(3)-underset(Br)underset(|)overset("*")CH-underset(H)underset(|)overset(|)C-CH_(2)-CH_(3)`
Since the product contains 2-chiral centres, `"total number of stereoisomers"=2^(2)=4`
