Question
Total number of possible isomers (both structural as well as stereoisomers) of cyclic ethers of molecular formula $C_{4}H_{8}O$ is:
Options
A.6
B.8
C.10
D.11
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: Number of isomers of cyclic ethers C₄H₈O (structural + stereoisomers)]
For cyclic ethers O should be in ring * carbon here is chiral
(1) 
(2) 
(3) 
(4) 
(5) 
(6) 
(7) 
Total number of isomers $= 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 10$
