Question

How many chirality centers are there in the molecule shown below?

How many stereoisomers are possible for the above structure?

The image depicts the chemical structure of a molecule known as Ketoprofen. This structure is characterized by:

- Three six-membered carbon rings with two ketone groups (indicated by the double-bonded oxygen atoms at the corner of each connected ring).
- The presence of a carboxylic acid group at the terminus, composed of a carbon double-bonded to an oxygen and also bonded to a hydroxyl group (OH).
- Two hydrogen atoms shown with wedge bonds, indicating their specific three-dimensional orientation in space (one as a solid wedge, one as a dashed wedge).

To the right of the chemical structure, there is a simple blank square that seems to have no immediate relevance to the molecular diagram.
