Stereogenic centers are generally chiral carbon atom in optically active compounds.
Explanation:
In optically active compounds the steriogenic centers are also called chiral carbon atom.
A chiral carbon atom is that which attached with four different substituents. It is also known as asymmetric carbon atom.
A chiral carbon possess :-
1. It should have no plane of symmetry.
- It should not be superimposable by its mirror images.
