Vedclass · Answer

(B) pseudo-asymmetric carbon atom is a carbon atom bonded to four groups,where two of the groups are enantiomeric (mirror images of each other) and the other two are different. In the compound $CH_3-CH(Br)-CH(OH)-CH(Br)-CH_3$,the central carbon atom is bonded to $-H$,$-OH$,and two identical groups $-CH(Br)CH_3$. However,if the two $-CH(Br)CH_3$ groups have different configurations (one $R$ and one $S$),the central carbon becomes a pseudo-asymmetric center.
