What is the chiral isomer of nicotine?
Nicotine is optically active, having two enantiomeric forms. The naturally occurring form of nicotine is levorotatory. The dextrorotatory form, (+)-nicotine, has only one-half the physiological activity of (–)-nicotine. Source(s): http://en... Read More »

How many chiral carbons and optical isomers are there in this car...
There are 3 chiral carbon atoms, there doesn't exists an internal plane of symmetry, so there are 3^2 = 9 optical isomers. Read More »

In Organic Chemistry, which isomer of C4H9Cl is chiral?
B. The easiest way to tell if a molecule is chiral is to see if there is a carbon with 4 different groups attatched to it. The 2nd carbon of B is chiral because it has a methyl, ethyl, chloro, and hydgrogen group attatched to it. CH3-ClCH-C... Read More »

Take (a) as an example. Look at each carbon atom in turn and analyze the groups that it is attached to. A carbon atom is only chiral if it is attached to 4 different groups. In the first molecule, only the 3rd carbon along is chiral (write ... Read More »

You might try the method of Kevin McClay, Corinne Boss, Ivan Keresztes, and Robert J. Steffan. They used a Hewlett-Packard Zorbax Eclipse XDB C8 column (4.6 by 150 mm) with an isocratic mix of methanol and water (50:50) at a flow rate of 0.... Read More »

An example of a chiral carbon results from when four different atoms or groups (a to d) is bonded to the same carbocation i.e. C abcd, so the carbocation has a plane of symmetry. This symmetrical arrangement means that if the product is po... Read More »
