Question
Chapter 4, Problem 55P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The configuration of naproxen active ingredient has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
R and S nomenclature: it is used to assign the molecule using CIP rules.
The CIP rules are as follows:
- Select the chiral carbon and assign the numbers according to the decreasing
atomic mass of atoms attached to it. - If the numbering follows clockwise direction then the molecule is termed as R and if it follows anti-clockwise direction then molecule is termed as S.
