Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The number of stereogenic centers present in the given compound is to be predicted and all possible stereoisomers are to be drawn.
Concept introduction: A carbon or nitrogen atom which is bonded to four different groups is termed as a chiral center or stereogenic center. A compound exhibits a number of stereoisomers when it contains more than one stereogenic center. The maximum number of stereoisomers a compound with
