Figure 2

In the given compound, the nitrogen atom does not act as stereogenic center although it is attached to three different groups and lone pair because of the flipping of amine group. The carbon atom marked by star possesses four different groups. Hence, this is a stereogenic center.

Conclusion

The stereogenic centers in the given compound are shown in Figure 2.
