Question

If 92% yield is obtained in 3 consecutive steps, the overall yield is approximately:
  1. A
    92%
  2. B
    77.9%
    Correct
  3. C
    87.6%
  4. D
    66.4%

Correct answer

77.9%

Explanation

Overall yield = 0.92³ = 0.779 = 77.9%. Multi-step syntheses suffer from compounding yield losses — a key consideration in industrial and organic chemistry.
