MHT CET 2024 Chemistry question

Identify the chiral molecule from following

(A)2-Iodopropane
(B)2-Iodo-2-methylbutane
(C)2-Iodo-3-methylbutaneCorrect
(D)3-Iodopentane

Answer: (C)

Solution

A molecule is chiral if it has a carbon bonded to four different groups. (C) 2-Iodo-3-methylbutane is \mathrm{CH_3-C^{*}HI-CH(CH_3)_2}: C-2 carries H, I, and isopropyl, four different groups, so it is chiral. (A) 2-iodopropane has two
