I have one more question from the ACS guide im hoping some one can help me out with; i know its late. On the stereochemistry section problem 23, they are asking about which compounds are optically active and I cant even find a stereocenter in any of them. Maybe im just overlooking something but I cant see how the answer they give can be correct. Thanks,
I am guessing that will be the carbon with chlorine and hydrogen attached in (III). I am sure though since that is an sp2 carbon.May be, you can consider the carbon with the double bond as having two carbons attached to it as we do in ranking substituents for E or Z classification. I'm still not sure though, just guessing.
