a.
Interpretation:
For the below compound the chirality centers has to be labeled and number of chiral centers should be determined
Concept introduction:
Chirality center:
When a carbon atom is bonded to four different groups, then that carbon is named as chiral carbon and it is called as chirality center. Generally, the carbon atom contains tetrahedral valency, therefore it bonded to four atoms or molecules. The chiral center is bonded with four different elements or groups. If the single carbon atom is bonded to two or more identical group or atom, then it is also not considered as chiral carbon. In addition to this, if the carbon atom contains multiple bond then it does not able to bond with four different groups then it is not considered to be as a chirality center.

- Write IUPAC names for each compound. Specify the configuration of chiral centersarrow_forwardLabel each compound as chiral or achiral. Compounds that contain a single carbon common to two rings are called spiro compounds. Because carbon is tetrahedral, the two rings are perpendicular to each other.arrow_forwardLocate the tetrahedral stereogenic center(s) in each compound. A molecule may have one or more stereogenic centers.arrow_forward
- How many chirality centers are in each compoundarrow_forwardA) ОН B) HO. Molecule A is achiral and molecule B is chiral Molecule A is chiral and molecule B is achiral Both molecules are achiral. Both molecules are chiral.arrow_forwardConsider the compound below. 2 NH₂ O Cl Part 1 of 3 Draw the structure showing stereochemistry, in which carbon 1 has R configuration and carbon 2 has S configuration. Part 2 of 3 Click and drag to start drawing a structure. CC Click and drag to start drawing a structure. X C C 3 Draw the structure showing stereochemistry, in which carbon 1 has S configuration and carbon 2 has R configuration. X Ś J C c+ C C c+arrow_forward
- Highlight the chirality (or stereogenic) center(s) in the given compound. A compound may have one or more stereogenic centers. msor N H OH Xarrow_forwardLocating Stereogenic Centers Locate the stereogenic centers in each drug. Albuterol is a bronchodilator— that is, it widens airways—so it is used to treat asthma. Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic used extensively in developing countries because of its low cost.arrow_forwardHow many chiral center(s) are present in each molecule and how many stereoisomers are possible in each case? a) 2- Chloropentane b) 3- chloropentane c) 3- Chloro- 1- pentene draw the structures of each of the molecules on paper with showing chiral centers with a star/asterisk and mention the number of the stereoisomers for each molecule.arrow_forward
