Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molecule that is prochiral is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

A tetrahedral sp3 achiral carbon atom can be transformed to the chiral carbon atom by replacement of one of the two identical atoms or groups. This carbon atom is the prochirality center.

Carbon which is bonded to three different types of atoms or groups can potentially be a prochirality center.
