(a)
Interpretation:
The stereocenters in the given compound are to be identified. Whether the compound is chiral or achiral is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
A carbon atom that has four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as the chiral carbon atom. A carbon atom that does not have four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as an achiral carbon atom. A stereocenter is a point at which exchange of any two groups will generate a stereoisomer. A chiral center is a stereocenter but not all stereocenters are chiral.
(b)
Interpretation:
The stereocenters in the given compound are to be identified. Whether the compound is chiral or achiral is to be stated.
