Q14 / 60 · JEE Advanced 2011 (Paper 2) · Chemistry

The maximum number of isomers (including stereoisomers) that are possible on monochlorination of the following compounds, is

Correct answer: 8

Solution

I has one chiral carbon $=$ two isomers II has two chiral carbons and no symmetry $=$ four isomers. III and IV have no chiral carbon, no stereoisomers.

Hence, the correct answer is 8.
