How many chiral carbons are on Sialic Acid?



Answer:
First you need a picture, then you count the number of carbons with unique substituents. From the picture I count 7. All but the lowest carbon of the ring and the right most carbon are attached to different things. Those carbons are attached to two hydrogens which is why they are not a chiral center.
