Hello,

I am having trouble seeing how of Quinine has 4 centers of chirality? I could only see 2, I don't see how there are other two places where an asymmetric center would be.

If you can help me out, thank you! 🙂

The four chiral centers are already marked on the image. These carbons have 4 different groups attached to it.

a chiral center is a carbon with 4 different substituents connected to it. you can clearly see these 4 chiral carbon if you look and make sure all four 4bons to carbon are connected to something different
