Question

Draw the unique stereoisomers for 2-chloro-2,3-dimethylpentane. Show stereochemistry clearly. To ensure proper grading, explicitly draw all four groups, including wedge/dash bonds, around a chirality center. Indicate whether the compounds could exist in an optically active form. could exist in optically active form cannot exist in optically active form cannot be determined
