Vedclass · Answer

(C) compound is optically active if it contains a chiral carbon atom (a carbon atom bonded to four different groups).In $CH_3-CH(NH_2)-CH_2-CH_3$ (Secondary butyl amine),the $C-2$ carbon is bonded to a hydrogen atom,a methyl group,an amino group,and an ethyl group.Since all four groups attached to the $C-2$ carbon are different,it is a chiral center.Therefore,Secondary butyl amine is optically active.
