Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5PP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The chiral centers of limonene and thalidomide are to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Chirality centers are the atoms (usually carbons) with four different substituents.
A chirality center creates a non-superimposable mirror image.
An atom having four unidentical substituents will be a chirality center.
