Label 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.
Label the chirality center (if one exists) in each compound. A compound may contain zero or one chirality center.
8. Assign each chiral carbon as R or S in compound-A. Draw the mirror image of compound-A and assign configuration to each chiral carbon. (note that the dotted line represents the mirror). H₂N S OH Compound A CH3 CH3 mirror CH3 CH 3 Mmok NHZ
