Question
**Stereochemistry: Identifying Chiral Centers** Indicate with an asterisk (*) each of the chiral centers in the following molecules: a. A benzene ring with a side chain: -CH₂CH₂C(CH₃)(CH₂OH)H b. A linear chain with chlorine (Cl) and bromine (Br) attached: -Cl-C(Br)- c. A bicyclic structure with several hydrogen atoms and one methyl (CH₃) group. d. A cyclopentane ring with hydrogen (H), chlorine (Cl), and bromine (Br) substituents. e. A bicyclic structure with a cyano group (≡C≡N). f. A cyclohexane ring with a methyl (CH₃) group attached. Note: To identify chiral centers, look for carbon atoms attached to four different groups.
