Expert Solution

Step 1: R/S absolute configuration rule

For the chiral carbon i.e. the carbon atom having four different groups attached to itself.

If the 4th priority group is present at above the plane and the 1->2->3 priority groups are arranged in clockwise direction then the configuration will be 'S' or the 1->2->3 priority groups are arranged in anticlockwise direction then the configuration will be 'R'.
If the 4th priority group is present at below the plane and the 1->2->3 priority groups are arranged in clockwise direction then the configuration will be 'R' or the 1->2->3 priority groups are arranged in anticlockwise direction then the configuration will be 'S'.
