Q6 / 54 · JEE Advanced 2020 (Paper 2) · Chemistry

An organic compound C8H10O2 rotates plane-polarized light. It produces pink color with neutral FeCl3 solution. What is the total number of all the possible isomers for this compound?

Correct answer: 6

Solution

Since compound C8H10O2 corresponds positively to neutral FeCl3 hence it will be a phenolic compound the possible structures which are optically active are as followed

Figure

Hence, total optically active isomers will be 6.

Hence, the correct answer is 6.
