If procaine is chiral or not and if it contains any stereocenter should be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Procaine contains amino ester group, it is a local anesthetic drug. It is required to relief the pain caused by injection of penicillin. It is also required in dentistry. In some regions, procaine is popular as Novocain.
