How many chiral carbon atoms exist in 1,2-dichloro-2-methyl-1-phenylpropane? (Fill in a number)

Answer 1

A carbon is chiral if it has four different groups attached to it.

0 I is achiral Ta o n chiral carbon = zuo (schloro-1-pentand) to chiral carson = 2 (3-chloxo-2-pentand) 3 (2-propanol) I stereoisomers = zero methyl jasmonate of chiral ons = 2 1 stereoisomers = 2 (2-Butanol) on 0 nerolidol chird Carbons = 1 h chired carbonat. and glucane. dextrose found in Lactaid es galacture it has 4 chical carbon atones so possible stereoisomers = 24 = 16
