Chapter 11, Problem 11.6YT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

In the electrophilic addition reaction shown in equation ${\text{C}}^{\text{*}}$, the major product has gained a chiral center. That chiral center is to be indicated with an asterisk.

Concept introduction:

The chiral center has four different groups attached to it. The groups are attached in such way that it has a non superimposable mirror image. The chiral molecules has one more than one chiral center in it. The meso compounds are exceptions.
