Number of stereogenic centres in 3-methyl-pent-1-yne is

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Total number of alkynes (structural and stereo) = 8 ;Number of structurally isomeric alkynes = 7 ;Number of  structurally isomeric terminal alkynes = 4 ;Number of  structurally isomeric non terminal (internal) alkynes = 3 ;Number of  structurally isomeric straight chain alkynes = 3 ;Number of  structurally isomeric branched chain alkynes = 4 ;Number of  stereo isomers (alkynes only) = 2 ;Number of  enantiomeric pairs (alkynes only) = 1 ;Number of structurally isomeric straight chain hexynes = 3 ;Number of structurally isomeric branched chain pentynes = 3 ;Number of structurally isomeric branched chain butynes = 1 ;*3-methyl-pent-1-yne has dextro and laevo forms
