Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Chirality center of dobutamine molecule should be identified and the enantiomers should be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

A tetrahedral carbon atom bonded to four different groups is called a chiral center. A Molecule having at least one chiral center is a chiral molecule. Molecules that do not have any chiral centers are called achiral.
