The number of possible enantiomeric pairs that can be produced during mono-chlorination of 2-methylbutane is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Its monochloro derivatives are as follows :
(i) 
or 
It will exist as enantiomeric pair ( d and l -forms)
(ii) 
no asymmetric C atom
(iii) 
It will exist as enantiomeric pair ( d - and l -forms)
(iv) 
No asymmetric carbon atom
Hence, only two enantiomeric pairs will be obtained by the monochlorination of 2-methylbutane.
