The number of chiral alcohol(s) with molecular formula C 4 H 10 O is ________ (Assume stereoisomers as different chiral alcohols)

Correct answer

Step-by-step solution

Molecular formula = C 4 H 10 O Degree of unsaturation = C + 1 - H + X - N 2 = 5 - 10 2 = 0 Possible alcohols are: 2-butanol exhibits optical isomerism, hence, two stereoisomers need to be considered.
