If you would like to know the total number of stereocenters in the molecule, click and hold the mouse button on the box below.
Both carbon indicated are chiral since they are bonded to four different groups; for carbon #2, a hydrogen, a chlorine, the ring and the CHBr; for carbon #1, a hydrogen, a bromine, the ring and the CHCl. Note that the hydrogen is not shown on carbon #1, but is assumed to be present.
