Question

Chloramphenicol has the following number of chiral carbons:

Answer 1

Chloramphenicol:

• An antibiotic called chloramphenicol is effective in treating a variety of bacterial illnesses.
• Conjunctivitis can be treated with an eye ointment, for example.

Chiral carbon:

• An atom that has four distinct groups linked to it in a way that prevents a superimposable mirror image is known as a chiral centre.
• Nowadays, the terms "chirality centre" and "chiral centre" are interchangeable.

Structure:

• In the structure, there are two such chiral carbons.

Hence, There are $2$ chiral Carbon atoms in Chloramphenicol.
