HOOC - CH( CH₃) - CHOH - CHBr - CHOH - CH( CH₃) - COOH

which of the 9 carbons are chiral??

is ( CHBr ) carbon chiral ???

HOOC - C^*H( CH₃) - C^*HOH - C^*HBr - C^*HOH - C^*H( CH₃) - COOH

 all c^* are chiral carbon atoms ....

Dear mohit,

Chiral carbon centres are:

HOOC - C^*H( CH₃) - C^*HOH - C^*HBr - C^*HOH - C^*H( CH₃) - COOH
