Sup, iam Florence Mckee, Don’t worry, it’s one day closer to the weekend.

How Many Different Substituents Are Required On A Carbon For It To Be Chiral? [Solved]

The rule of thumb is: chiral carbon centers are carbon atoms that are attached to four different substituents, that are placed at the corners of a tetrahedron. Chiral carbon atoms are also referred to as ‘stereogenic carbons’ or ‘asymmetrical carbon atoms’.
