Concept introduction:
A carbon atom that has four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as the chiral carbon atom. Chiral carbon centers are also called asymmetric or stereogenic centers. A chiral molecule is an optically active molecule. It rotates the plane of a plane polarized light. The specific optical rotation of a compound is given by the expression as shown below.
