Question

Consider the structure of two compounds P and Q: [P is a bicyclic structure with CH3, H, COOH, and Br substituents; Q shows two benzene rings connected by a bridge containing two nitrogen atoms with lone pairs and a CH2 group, with H3C on one benzene ring]. Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct regarding P and Q?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A,B,C. Although ‘P’ exhibits four stereocentres, yet it exists only as one pair of enantiomers (due to increased symmetry) In compound ‘Q’, the N-atom is at bridge head position, therefore, nitrogen inversion does not occur. So, ‘Q’ is chiral.
