Carbon is not the only element that can function as a chiral center. In Problem 5.6 we saw an example in which a phosphorus atom is achiral center. In such a case, the lone pair is always assigned the fourth priority. Using this information, assign the configuration of thechiral center in this compound:ORS

The quantitative differences in biological activity between the two enantiomers of a compound are sometimes quite large. For example, the D isomer of the drug isoproterenol, used to treat mild asthma, is 50 to 80times more effective as a bronchodilator than the L isomer. Identify the chiral center in isoproterenol. Why do the two enantiomers have such radically different bioactivity?
