- Label each compound as chiral or achiral. Compounds that contain a single carbon common to two rings are called spiro compounds. Because carbon is tetrahedral, the two rings are perpendicular to each other.arrow_forwardA compound that contains two different stereocenters can exist as four optically active stereoisomers. The flying wedge representations of the four stereoisomers are given below: ÇOOH ÇOOH ÇOOH ÇOOH H-C-OH HO-C-H H-C-OH HO-C-H H-C-OH HO-C-H HO-C-H H-C-OH ČH3 ČH3 ČH3 ČH3 II II IV What is the relationship between: 96.I and II? 97. I and IV? 98. I and III? II and III? III and IV? II and IV?arrow_forwardExplain the concept of chirality in organic chemistry, its significance in drug design, and the difference between enantiomers and diastereomers.arrow_forward
