although the benzoin molecule contains one chiral center, yet the product produced in this reaction is not optically active.
this is because the product which is formed is not enantiopure product rather the product is a racemic mixture of two enantiomers. Racemic mixture is the mixture which contain equal amount of two enentiomers so that their optical rotation cancel each other and the product produced is optically inactive.
in this case racemic products formed ( a mixture of R and S configuration product) so the product is not optically active.

The question is about E1,E2 reaction of organic chemistry. If a product is chiral, be sure to label it as optically active or racemic. Predict the major deuterium containing product(s). If a product is chiral, be sure to label it as optically active or racemic. A. 1.) NaH он D3c 2.) Br Br В. KOTBU D3C racemic С. Br КОE+ D3C racemic D. NaN3 Br CD3
Identify the chirality center (sometimes called chiral atom) in each molecule.Okay, so I do understand the meaning of Chirality center or chiral atom. However, I don't know which one is chirality center or not. I thought that Carbon at theend of each molecule are chiral atom, but they are not. So, I do not know which one is chiral atom or not.
1. In the following molecule, indicate each of the chiral carbon atoms (put a star or arrow next to it) and calculate the number of stereoisomers of the compound that could exist. HO 2. Is this molecule definitely, possibly, or definitely not optically active? (circle one)

glceraldehyde molecule glyceraldehyde molecule IV. Using Models of Compounds with One Chiral Center 17. Use your model kit to construct a model of the glyceraldehyde molecule, as shown in Figure 3. Start by constructing a model of methane. Replace one hy- drogen with the hydroxyl group (OH), another hydro- gen with CH2OH, and a third hydrogen with CHO. On your Data Sheet, draw a picture of your ball-and-stick model next to the structural formula of the molecule (25) OH H...
1. a) (2 points) The Fisher projection of molecule A reveals that it has three chiral carbons. What is the maximum number of stereoisomers that a molecule with three chiral carbons can have? b) (18 points) Even though molecule A has three chiral carbon atoms, there are only four stereoisomers: A, B, C, and D. Explain why so few stereoisomers exist, using structures as part our answer. Your answer should take your answer to a) into account. CH,OH CH2OH CH...
1 & 2) Draw the product to the reaction below. 3) Select the chiral atoms in the aspartame molecule. Draw the product to the reaction below: + OH CH3 H3C—_—HĆ-CH3 + H3C—CH2-OH 6-CH2-CH3 + H20 Draw the product to the reaction below: H3C-CH2-0 H3C—CH2—C—OH + CH3 H3C—CH2-OH + H20 Aspartame is a popular sugar substitute. It is 150 times sweeter than sucrose so very little is needed to sweeten foods. Identify the chirality center(s), sometimes called chiral carbon atoms, in...
