2:
A
Build a model of Molecule A
3:
1. Does this molecule have a plane of symmetry? You are
allowed to rotate around bonds to look for a plane of
symmetry
2. Assign R/S for each chiral carbon
Return the molecule back to its original conformation.
Rotate the back carbon 180° in a clockwise direction
3. Is this new conformation eclipsed or staggered?
4. Redraw this conformation as a Newman Projection
Indicate R/S on the
Newman projection of
Molecule A
