Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The asymmetric carbon atoms in the given compound are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
A carbon atom that has four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as the chiral carbon atom. Chiral carbon centers are also called as asymmetric or stereogenic centers. A carbon atom that does not have four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as an achiral carbon atom.
(b)
Interpretation:
The asymmetric carbon atoms in the given compound are to be identified.

- FUNCTIONAL GROUPS The research team on Natural Products Chemistry from De La Salle University-Dasmariñas under Mr. Gab has discovered a novel compound from an endemic Philippine nudibranch, Chromodoris cavitensis, whichinhabits the coral reef system near Caylabne Bay in Ternate, Cavite. Exhaustive analysis has revealed acomplex structure as shown below which they aptly named as “chromocavitenin”. Initial tests revealed that thiscompound has potent anti-carcinogenic properties. Encircle and identify the 13 distinct functional groups that arepresent in chromocavitenin.arrow_forwardIn the space provided below, write a line structure corresponding to the systematic name (R)-3-methylhexane.
