Chapter 21, Problem 104E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The chiral carbon atoms in the given structure are to be numbered.

Concept introduction: A chiral atom is defined as an atom that is attached to four different types of atoms or groups of atoms and also known as asymmetric carbon. A molecule is said to be a chiral when it contains at least one chiral carbon atom. Such a carbon is said to be chiral center or stereogenic centre. The molecules those contain chiral centre are non-superimposable mirror images of one another.

To determine: The number of chiral carbon atoms in the given structure.
