Question
Chapter 15, Problem 36P
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.
When the mirror images of a chiral molecule are not superimposable, those mirror images become stereoisomers called enantiomers.
