(a)
Interpretation:
The chiral or asymmetric center in the following compound has to be indicated. Also, the chiral center has to be marked.
Concept Introduction:
The molecules whose mirror-image structures cannot be superimposed on the original structure are said to be chiral molecules.
A carbon atom is said to be Chiral when it is bonded to four different substituents. Chiral carbon atoms are known as asymmetric centers.
(b)
Interpretation:
The chiral or asymmetric center in the following compound has to be indicated. Also, the chiral center has to be marked.
Concept Introduction:
Refer part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The chiral or asymmetric center in the following compound has to be indicated. Also, the chiral center has to be marked.
Concept Introduction:
Refer part (a).
