Chapter 18, Problem 18.57P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The number of stereogenic centers present in the product is to be determined.

Concept introduction: A carbon atom which is bonded to four different groups is termed as chiral center or stereogenic center. The groups around the stereogenic center are prioritized on the basis of atomic number of their atoms in order to find the configuration of compound.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The product formed from the given reaction exhibit optical activity or not is to be predicted and explained.

Concept introduction: The replacement or substitution of one functional group with another different functional group in any chemical reaction is termed as substitution reaction. The electron deficient chemical species that contains positive charge are known as electrophile. In electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction, electrophile takes the position of hydrogen atom by attacking the electron rich carbon atom of benzene.
