Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:
Each drawing given in the problem is to be oriented so that the lowest ranked group is towards the rear and the configuration as R or S is to be assigned.
Concept introduction:
The groups attached to a chiral carbon are ranked based on the sequence rules. The molecule is oriented in such a way that the group of lowest ranking points directly away from the viewer. If a curved arrow drawn from the highest to second highest to third highest ranked substituent is clockwise, the chirality centre is assigned R configuration. If the arrow is anticlockwise it is assigned s configuration.
To orient:
Each drawing given in the problem so that the lowest ranked group is towards the rear and to assign the configuration as R or S.

- On the molecule below, highlight all R stereocenters in red and all S stereocenters in blue. If it doesn't contain any stereocenters, check the "No Stereocenters" box under the drawing area.arrow_forwardIdentify the highlighted hydrogens in the molecules below as enantiotopic, diastereotopic, or neither.arrow_forwardDoes the following compound have the R or the S configuration?arrow_forward
- Hypoglycin A, an aminoacid derivative found in unripened lychee, is a compound that is acutely toxic and can lead to death when ingested in large amounts by undernourished children. Draw all possible stereoisomers for hypoglycin A, and give the R,S designation for each stereocenter.arrow_forwardFor the molecules below, assign the stereocenter’s absolute configuration as R or Sarrow_forwardDetermine whether the circled hydrogens are enantiotopic, diastereotopic, heterotopic, or homotopic.arrow_forward
