Vedclass · Answer

(C) The condition for a compound to exist as enantiomers is the presence of at least one chiral center (an asymmetric carbon atom bonded to four different groups).$A$. $CH_3CH(OH)CO_2H$ has a chiral center at the $C_2$ position.$B$. $CH_3CH_2CH(CH_3)CH_2OH$ has a chiral center at the $C_3$ position.$C$. $C_6H_5CH_2CH_3$ (ethylbenzene) does not have any chiral center,as the $CH_2$ group is bonded to two identical hydrogen atoms.$D$. $C_6H_5CHClCH_3$ has a chiral center at the $C_1$ position.Therefore,$C_6H_5CH_2CH_3$ cannot exist as enantiomers.
