In which of the following molecules carbon atom marked with asterix (*)is a stereocentre or chiral centre?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is option 1. 
A chiral center is defined as an atom in a molecule that is bonded to four different chemical species, allowing for optical isomerism. It is a stereocenter that holds a set of atoms (ligands) in space such that the structure may not be superimposed on its mirror image.
