$2,3-$Dimethylpentane

Vedclass · Answer

(C) molecule is optically active if it contains at least one chiral carbon atom (a carbon atom bonded to four different groups).In $2,3-$dimethylpentane,the carbon at position $3$ is bonded to a hydrogen atom,a methyl group $(-CH_3)$,an ethyl group $(-CH_2CH_3)$,and an isopropyl group $(-CH(CH_3)_2)$.Since all four groups attached to the $C-3$ atom are different,it is a chiral center.Therefore,$2,3-$dimethylpentane is optically active.

Which of the following alkanes is optically active?
