Question
Chapter 3.8, Problem BQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The direction of rotation of plane polarised light must the common 19 chiral amino acids has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Priority rules:
- Priorities based on
atomic number
- When priority cannot be assigned on the basis of the atoms bonded directly to the chiral center
- Atoms participating in a double or triple bond are considered to be bonded to an equivalent number of phantom atoms.
For example,
- Priority assignment is made at the first point of difference between groups (should not be based on the larger group).
