Consider all possible isomeric ketones, including stereoisomers of MW = 100. All these isomers are idependently reacted with NaBH4

Question

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: 5. 5 Sol. CnH2nO, MW = 12n + 2n + 16 = 100 ∴ 14n = 84 ∴ n = 6 Six such ketones exist : C6H12O (+) & (–) (+) & (–) (+) & (–) (+) & (–) diastere. (+) & (–) diaste. Thus, 5 such ketones give a racemic mixture
