In this given question, we are assigned with the task to find the number of chiral carbons present in the following organic compound.
00:10
The organic compound given in the question is shown below.
00:13
This is the organic compound given in the question and we got to find the chiral carbons in this compound.
00:21
Chiral carbon can also be called as a stereo center or chiral center.
00:29
A carbon atom is said to be a chiral carbon or a stereo center or chiral center when it is connected with 4.
00:36
Different atoms or molecules.
00:51
Now let us show each bonds and the bonded atoms for each of the carbon atoms present in this compound and analyze the same for the presence of chiral carbon.
01:02
For convenience let us number the carbons.
01:05
This carbon is numbered one and this is two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninth one and this is the tenth carbon, 11th carbon and 12th carbon.
01:20
First carbon is connected with oxygen atom and three hydrogen atoms.
01:23
Since it is not connected with three different atoms, it cannot be a chiral center.
01:27
And second carbon is connected with oxygen and two hydrogen and one more carbon.
01:31
Since it is connected with two similar atoms, it cannot be a chiral center.
01:36
And carbon three is connected with carbon atom...
