NEET levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 1 of 3st264

The compound shown is 3-methylpent-1-ene drawn without stereochemistry. The total number of stereoisomers (geometrical and optical together) is

  1. A1
  2. B2
  3. C3
  4. D4

Answer: B

The terminal double bond has two on C1, so there is no geometrical isomerism. C3 carries , , and vinyl, so it is the only stereocentre. The total is stereoisomers, the and enantiomers.
