Question
Which of the following isomeric compounds show optical isomerism :
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
2-Aminopentane (CH3-CH2-CH(NH2)-CH2-CH3) has a chiral center at C2 (attached to NH2, H, CH2CH3, and CH2CH2CH3), making it optically active. The other isomers lack a chiral center.
Hint
Which position of the amino group creates a chiral center?
