Question
Chapter 4, Problem 31P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The chirality centers in given molecules are to be located.
Concept introduction:
Chiral carbon is a carbon atom that is attached to four different atoms or groups, and is called a chirality center.
When the central atom bears three different groups or atoms then the molecules having trigonal pyramidal are chiral.
Sulfur compounds that are pyramidal bears three different groups at sulfur atom and are chiral.

Translate the ball-and-stick model to a shorthand structure, and label the two chirality centers in vitamin K. Vitamin K is essential to blood clot formation. A defi ciency of this vitamin may lead to excessive and often fatal bleeding.
Bile salts are derivative of cholestrol. However, the solubilities of these compounds in water are drastically different; cholestrol is highly hydrophobic, and the bile salts are soluble in digestive juices. Explain the differences.
