Consider the following organic compound
`overset(1)CH_(3)overset(2)CH_(2)overset(3)CH_(2)overset(4)CH_(2)overset(5)CH_(2)overset(6)CH_(2)overset(7)CH_(3)`
To make it a chiral compound, the attack should be on carbon

Options

A. 1
B. 3
C. 4
D. 7

Answer

B

Explanation

`overset(1)( C)H_(3) -overset(2) underset(**)( C) H_(2) - overset(3) underset(**)(C )H_(2) - overset(4) ( C) H_(2) - overset(5)underset(**)( C) H_(2) - overset(5) underset(**)( C) H_(2) - overset(7) ( C) H_(3)`
The attack can be on `2^(nd) , 3^(rd) , 5^(th)` or `6^(th)` carbon atom to make the compound chiral (asymmetric).
