Question
Chapter 4, Problem 31P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The chirality centers in given molecules are to be located.
Concept introduction:
Chiral carbon is a carbon atom that is attached to four different atoms or groups, and is called a chirality center.
When the central atom bears three different groups or atoms then the molecules having trigonal pyramidal are chiral.
Sulfur compounds that are pyramidal bears three different groups at sulfur atom and are chiral.
