Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The correct structure of the given compound has to be drawn and its absolute stereochemical configuration should be provided.
Concept introduction:
In a cyclic compound, the spatial orientation of the di substituents cyclic compound must be viewed as a three-dimensional conformation. Generally, a solid wedge bond indicates it is above the plane of the ring and a broken wedge bond indicates it is below the plane.
Chiral centre: A chiral center is defined as the tetrahedral carbon atom in an organic molecule that is connected to four non-identical groups/substituents. It is sometimes known as a stereo genic center.
R and S nomenclature: it is used to assign the molecule using CIP (Cahn-Ingold-Prelog) rules.
The CIP rules are as follows:
Select the chiral carbon and assign the numbers according to the decreasing
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.
