Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The given compound is to be labeled as chiral or achiral and mirror image has to be drawn.
Concept introduction: A carbon atom that has four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as chiral carbon atom. Chiral carbon centers are also called as asymmetric or stereogenic centers.
Achiral compounds have plane, axis or center of symmetry and are superimposable on its mirror image.

- Determine whether each compound is chiral or achiral.arrow_forwardLabel each compound as chiral or achiral. Compounds that contain a single carbon common to two rings are called spiro compounds. Because carbon is tetrahedral, the two rings are perpendicular to each other.arrow_forward8. Assign each chiral carbon as R or S in compound-A. Draw the mirror image of compound-A and assign configuration to each chiral carbon. (note that the dotted line represents the mirror).
