Q. The structure of chloramphenicol given below
Question
If number of chiral carbon atoms in this structure is $X$ and number of $sp^{2}$ hybridised carbon atoms is $Y$. The sum of $X + Y$ is equal to?

Solution:

Solution
It has two chiral C-atoms and $7sp^{2}$ hybridised C-atoms so X = 2, Y = 7
Hence $X+Y=2+7=9$
