Chapter 4, Problem 51P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The relative priorities for the given set of groups has to be assigned.

Concept introduction:

According to Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system,

The group attached to asymmetric center should be ranked based on the atomic number of atom which directly connected to asymmetric center.  The higher the atomic number of atom, higher the priority.  If there is tie, then consider the next atoms attached to the connected atom and so on.
