- The following compound has only one asymmetric center. Why then does it have four stereoisomers?arrow_forwardLabel each molecule with chiral centers (R) and (S). Which ones have more than one?arrow_forwardShown below is Streptomycin, an antibiotic medication used to treat a number of bacterial infections, including tuberculosis, plague, and endocarditis. Neomycin B has broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Circle and label as many functional groups in these molecules as you can. Label each chiral carbon in Streptomycin. How many total stereoisomers exist for Streptomycin? Label each chiral carbon in Neomycin B. How many total stereoisomers exist for Neomycin B?arrow_forward
