Question

Draw the three-dimensional structures of the molecules below. Determine if the compounds have any asymmetric carbons and if either of them are chiral despite not having any asymmetric carbons.

a. (CH₃)₂C=C=CHBr

b. H₂C=C=CHBr

Accepted Answer

Both molecules lack asymmetric carbon and both are achiral.
