Introduction to stereochemistry:
Configurational isomerism, R - S isomerism, optical isomerism

Tutorial 6

    

Decide whether the molecule 1 is R or S in the CIP system!

First stage: Its enantiomer is always found by exchanging two substituents of the atom C* →      Let us exchange CH3 and H by creating the enantiomer 2 where the least important substituent in the CIP scale, namely H, is oriented towards the rear. Let us determine the configuration R or S of this enantiomer.

Second stage: What is →         the configuration of the initial molecule 1 ?
