Explanation
Solution
Explanation:
The six‐membered ring is in a boat conformation (i.e. non‐planar), and although two pairs of identical substituents (Br and CH₃) occur opposite to each other, the remaining substituents (H and F) are different. This arrangement destroys any possibility of a mirror plane, inversion center, or rotational (C₂) symmetry axis in the molecule.
