Classify the following compounds as chiral achiral but not m

Classify the following compounds as chiral, achiral (but not meso), or meso. 1st structure: 2nd structure: OH 3rd structure: OH Submit Answer Retry Entire Group 7 more group attempts remaining

Solution

1st structure is achiral

(It doesn\'t have chiral carbon , carbon containing 4 different substituent)

2nd structure is chiral

Bridged carbon atom have 4 different constituents.

3 rd structure is meso

Half the molecule is mirror image of other half of the molecule.

There are two chiral carbon atom one is R another one is S . So it is meso compound.
