Chapter 15, Problem 34P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of the alkyl bromide of molecular formula C4H9Br that contains one chiral center should be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Chirality is the presence of an asymmetric carbon center in a molecule and a molecule which contains a chiral center cannot superimpose on its mirror image.
