a.
Interpretation:
For the below compound the chirality centers has to be labeled and number of chiral centers 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.

- 18-18 Propanoic acid and methyl acetate are constitutional isomers, and both are liquids at room temperature. One of these compounds has a boiling point of 141°C; the other has a boiling point of 57°C. Which compound has which boiling point? Explain.arrow_forward7. 2-hydroxypropanoic acid (lactic acid) has a chiral carbon atom. Draw the structure of lactic acid and mark the chiral atom with *. Draw three-dimensional diagrams of the two optical isomers to show that they are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.arrow_forwardThe stimulant in coffee is: a. tannic acid b. theobromine c. theophylline d. caffeinearrow_forward
- Digitalis is a preparation made from the dried seeds and leaves of the purple foxglove, Digitalis purpurea, a plant native to southern and central Europe and cultivated in the United States. The preparation is a mixture of several active components, including digitalin. Digitalis is used in medicine to increase the force of myocardial contraction and as a conduction depressant to decrease heart rate (the heart pumps more forcefully but less often).arrow_forwardWhat two functional groups react to form the following? a.

- H CH3 H₂C-N-CH₂-C-CH₂- CH3 OH The reason that this compound is required in the diet of humans is that it: O is part of the coenzyme A molecule. O helps fatty acids cross the inner mitochondrial membrane. O is involved in the reoxidation of cytosolic NADH under anaerobic conditions. O is a precursor of one of the most important oxidizing agents in cells. O is part of the flavin adenine dinucleotide molecule.
