Which of the following biphenyl is optically active?
Which of the following biphenyl is optically active?

Correct Option B

Solution:

Steric hindrance is caused by biphenyls that have been ortho substituted with a bulky group.

Individual chiral carbon atoms are absent from suitably substituted diphenyl compounds, but the molecules are chiral due to restricted rotation around the single bond between the two benzene nuclei.

They are non-superimposable mirror images of one another. Atropisomerism is the name for this type of isomerism.
