why is this S not R(I means the one that I circle in red color) 123 or 134???if go 123 it would be R,if it goes 134,it would be s?so confusing?Can anyone make it clear?Please help and explain in details
How do you assign R or S to a molecule when the lowest-priority group is not oriented toward the back, on a dashed wedge?
X, the molecule shown below, is not planar. The terminal ring at one end is actually skewed up relative to that at the other end. Is X chiral? Yes or no?
