Single Choice

The number of stereoisomers obtained by bromination of trans-2-butene is:

A1
Correct Answer
B2
C3
D4

Solution

If we add halogens on alkenes it is mostly called Anti-addition. Anti addition of $$Br_2$$ on trans alkene gives (or) produces meso compound.
So, here only $$1$$ stereoisomer is formed
The correct answer is (a)
