The correct Answer is:
To determine the possible number of stereoisomers for the product of the given reaction, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Product The reaction involves the compound `Ph-CH=CH-CH(CH3)-CHO` reacting with hydroxylamine (NH2OH). The product formed will have a double bond and a chiral center due to the presence of the aldehyde group. ### Step 2: Analyze the Structure The product can be represented as: - `Ph-CH=CH-CH(CH3)-C(=NOH)-H` This structure contains: - A double bond between the two carbon atoms adjacent to the phenyl group. - A chiral center at the carbon that is bonded to the hydroxylamine and the methyl group. ### Step 3: Count the Pi Bonds In the product, we have: - One double bond between the two carbon atoms (C=C). - One double bond between the carbon and the nitrogen (C=N). Thus, there are **2 pi bonds** in total. ### Step 4: Identify Chiral Centers A chiral center is a carbon atom that has four different groups attached to it. In our product: - The carbon atom bonded to the hydroxylamine (C=N) is a chiral center because it is attached to: 1. The phenyl group (Ph) 2. The hydrogen atom (H) 3. The methyl group (CH3) 4. The carbon atom of the double bond (C=C) Thus, there is **1 chiral center** in the product. ### Step 5: Calculate the Total Number of Stereoisomers The formula to calculate the number of stereoisomers is: \[ \text{Number of stereoisomers} = 2^n \] where \( n \) is the sum of the number of pi bonds involved in geometrical isomerism and the number of chiral centers. From our analysis: - Number of pi bonds (involved in geometrical isomerism) = 2 - Number of chiral centers = 1 Thus, \( n = 2 + 1 = 3 \). Now, applying the formula: \[ \text{Number of stereoisomers} = 2^3 = 8 \] ### Final Answer The possible number of stereoisomers of the product of the reaction is **8**. ---
