How is I considered a chiral center? It's attached to a Cl, 2 hydrogens, & then the rest of the molecule.

& if this is, in fact a chiral center, how?

Thanks.

You have been trapped. Compound I is indeed chiral......the second carbon is chiral !!!! Many students miss this. Once you land a chlorine atom on a carbon.....check the ENTIRE molecule to see if chirality was generated. Hope this helps.....keep up the hard work !

Omg....I see it!!! That is tricky. I was so focused on that carbon one I didn't even consider that carbon two! 🙄 Thanks!

Oh by the way they told me you cannot post picture from destroyer because it is copy right and they remove picture so I guess @orgoman22 just did not like my picture! [emoji38]
