How many alcohos with molecular formula `C_4H_10O` are chiral in nature?

Options

A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4

Answer

A

Explanation

Alcohols having molecular formula `C_(4)H_(10)O` are :
(i) `underset("(Archiral)")(CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)OH)`
(ii) `underset("(Chiral)")(CH_(3)-CH_(2)-underset(H)underset(|)overset(OH)overset(|)(""^(**)C)-CH_(3)`
(iii) `underset("(Achiral)")(CH_(3)-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(CH)-CH_(2)OH)`
(iv) `underset("(Achiral)")(H_(3)C-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)C-OH`
