Study Notes

Chirality and Stereoisomers

  • The number of chiral centers in the structure is being asked, implying that the structure has one or more asymmetric carbons.
  • The maximum number of stereoisomers possible for the structure is related to the number of chiral centers.

Properties of Chiral Compounds

  • A chiral compound exhibits certain properties, which are being questioned.
  • One of the properties of a chiral compound is being sought, which may include optical activity or inability to be superimposed on its mirror image.

Statements about the Structure

  • Multiple statements are being presented about the structure, and one of them is incorrect.
  • Correct statements about the structure may relate to its chirality, optical activity, or symmetry.
