Which of the following compounds is not chiral?

1. DCH3CH2CHCl
2. CH3CH2CHCl
3. CH3CHCHClCH3
4. CH3CHCHCHClD

Correct answer: CH3CH2CHCl

Solution

Chirality requires a carbon atom to have four different groups attached. In option B (CH3CH2CHCl), the central carbon is not attached to four different groups, so it is not chiral.
