    Yeah it is a Chiral Carbon. Chiral Carbon is one compound in which all the groups attached to the Central Carbon are different. So here all the 4 attached to Carbon are different. Thus it's a Chiral carbon. Chiral Compond are such that it cannot be superposed on its mirror image by any combination of rotations and translations. This geometric property is called chirality. So it's mirror images are not superimposable thus it's a Chiral Compond.
