Chiral Compounds
Concept #1: Chirality Centers
A chiral compound is a compound where at least one carbon is connected to 4 different groups.
Example #1: Identify the compound that possesses an asymmetric center.
Example #2: From the previous question draw the mirror image of the chiral molecule.
An enantiomer is the mirror image of a chiral compound. To draw the enantiomer of a compound just image the compound looking in a mirror.
Example #3: Draw the mirror images for the following molecule.
