Which from following compounds does NOT contain phantom atom?

Options

  1. AAcetaldehyde
  2. BMethyl cyanide
  3. Cn - propyl alcohol
  4. DPropionic acid

Correct answer

C. n - propyl alcohol

Step-by-step solution

New rule: Expand out multiple bonds with "Phantom atoms" In order to properly compare, we "expand out" all multiple bonds and treat them as single bonds attached to "phantom atoms" (in blue) Note that the process of assigning "phantom atoms" to the nitrogen involves looking "backwards" towards the chiral center. This is the only case we ever do this!
