How many stereocentres (sp carbons bearing four different groups) are present in 3-methylcyclohex-1-ene?

  1. A0
  2. B2
  3. C3
  4. D1

Answer: D

Only C3 carries four different groups: H, CH, the vinylic C2 (=CH) and the CH at C4. C4, C5 and C6 each have two H atoms, and C1 and C2 are sp. Hence the count is 1.
