Interpretation:
The chirality center needs to be labeled in the given compound.
Concept Introduction:
Chirality is the presence of an asymmetric carbon center in a molecule and a molecule which contains a chiral center cannot superimpose on its mirror image.

- Locate the tetrahedral stereogenic center(s) in each compound. A molecule may have one or more stereogenic centers.arrow_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_forwardHighlight the chirality (or stereogenic) center(s) in the given compound. A compound may have one or more stereogenic centers. msor N H OH Xarrow_forward
- Locating 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_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.
