A chiral carbon is bonded to four different substituents.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes I know that but how...do u know the mechanism ???

I am also confused by your question... Any reaction that yields a carbon with 4 different substituentes will yield a chiral center. There are reactions that can create certain isomers, S or R. Is that what you are asking? If so, there are many hundreds of these reactions.

Are you maybe referring to an inversion of chirality, such as an SN2 type reaction?

yes the SN2 mechanism please can u explain it further more....

What is the new chiral C called that is formedwhen a sugar molecule cyclizes?

The new chiral carbon formed when a sugar molecule cyclizes is called the anomeric carbon. This carbon is responsible for creating either an alpha or beta configuration of the sugar molecule, depending on the orientation of the hydroxyl group attached to it.
