(a)
Interpretation:
The compounds out of given compounds that can in principle be resolved into enantiomers are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
An atom that has four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as the chiral atom. Chiral centers are also called asymmetric or stereogenic centers. An atom that does not have four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as an achiral atom.
(b)
Interpretation:
The asymmetric center in omeprazole is to be identified.
