Question

The possible number of stereoisomers of the product of following reaction would be :
`Ph-CH=CH-undersetunderset(CH_3)(|)CH-CHOoverset(NH_2OH)to`
A. 2
B. 4
C. 6
D. 8

Answer 1

Correct Answer - D
Product=`Ph-CH=CH-undersetunderset(CH_3)(|)CH-CH=NOH`
Total number of stereoisomers =`2^(n)=2^(3)=8`
(n = number of stereo centres (G.I.+O.I.)=2+1=3)
