Interpretation:
For the below compound the chirality centers has to be labeled and number of chiral centers and the type of alcohol should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Chirality center:
When a carbon atom is bonded to four different groups, then that carbon is named as chiral carbon and it is called as chirality center. Generally, the carbon atom contains tetrahedral valency, therefore it bonded to four atoms or molecules. The chiral center is bonded with four different elements or groups. If the single carbon atom is bonded to two or more identical group or atom, then it is also not considered as chiral carbon. In addition to this, if the carbon atom contains multiple bond then it does not able to bond with four different groups then it is not considered to be as a chirality center.
Classification of alcohol:
Generally the alcohol group is bonded with minimum one alkyl group. The alcohol group is classified into three types, such as primary

- 16-54 Several poisonous plants, including Atropa belladonna, contain the alkaloid atropine. The name “belladonna” (which means “beautiful lady”) probably comes from the fact that Roman women used extracts from this plant to make themselves more attractive. Atropine is widely used by ophthal mologists and optometrists to dilate the pupils for eye examination. Classify the amino group in atropine as primary, secondary, or tertiary. Locate all stereocenters in atropine. Account for the fact that atropine is almost insoluble in water (1 g in 455 mL of cold water) but atropine hydrogen sulfate is very soluble (1 g in 5 mL of cold water). Account for the fact that a dilute aqueous solution of atropine is basic (pH approximately 10.0).arrow_forwardLabel each of the following structures as a hemiacetal, hemiketal, acetal, ketal, or none of these: a. c. b.arrow_forwardHow many kinds of chemically non-equivalent carbons are there in each of the following compounds? a b علم CH₂-CH₂- +NH₂ OH CH₂ Aspirin (analgesic, antipyretic and antibiotic) The number of chemically non-equivalent carbons is The number of chemically non-equivalent carbons isarrow_forward
