A hydrocarbon P has molecular formula C8...

A hydrocarbon P has molecular formula `C_8H_(16)`, and it does not undergo hydrogenation with raney Ni. A on free radical chlorination yields three monochloro derivatives Q, R and S (all structural isomers) with their molecular formula `C_8 H_(15)Cl`. Only Q can show optical isomerism R. On further chlorination produces a dichloride `C_8 H_(14) Cl_2`, as one of the several isomers which on heating with sodium metal in etheral solution gives bicyclo [2, 2, 2] octane.
How many stereoisomers are possible for Q?

A

2

B

4

C

6

D

8

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Q is It has three chiral carbon , hence , ` 2^(3) =8` stereoisomers .
