Chapter 14, Problem 28P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Draw the structure alcohol with the molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{5}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}\text{O}$ which is / are chiral.

Concept Introduction:

Chiral word comes from Greek word “cheir” meaning hand and chirality is for handedness. So a compound bearing chiral carbon can rotate plane of polarized light in either right hand direction or left hand direction.
