Chapter 4, Problem 31P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The chirality centers in given molecules are to be located.

Concept introduction:

Chiral carbon is a carbon atom that is attached to four different atoms or groups, and is called a chirality center.

When the central atom bears three different groups or atoms then the molecules having trigonal pyramidal are chiral.

Sulfur compounds that are pyramidal bears three different groups at sulfur atom and are chiral.

Diltiazem is prescribed to treat hypertension, and simvastatin is a cholesterol-lowering drug. Locate the chirality centers in each.
Although fresh human sweat has no odor, enzymes in skin bacteria form a variety of compounds with distinctive, pungent odors. The two enantiomers of 3-methyl-3-sulfanyl-1-hexanol (A), which smell somewhat differently, contribute to the characteristic foul odor of sweat. Locate the chirality center in A and draw both enantiomers
