Vedclass · Answer

(A) chiral carbon is a carbon atom that is bonded to four different groups.Looking at the structure of chloramphenicol,we can identify the chiral centers marked with an asterisk $(*)$.The structure contains two chiral carbon atoms:$1$. The carbon atom attached to the hydroxyl $(-OH)$ group and the benzene ring.$2$. The carbon atom attached to the amino $(-NH-)$ group and the hydroxymethyl $(-CH_2OH)$ group.Therefore,the total number of chiral carbons in chloramphenicol is $2$.
