Question

As a fischer projection is the compound R or S and which group is the highest priority ?

The image depicts a structural representation of an organic molecule. The central carbon atom is bonded to several groups: - **Br (Bromine)**: Four bromine atoms are attached to the structure. Three are directly connected to a carbon atom, indicating a highly brominated compound. - **CH3 (Methyl Group)**: One methyl group is attached to one of the carbon atoms. - **OH (Hydroxyl Group)**: Two hydroxyl groups are present. One is attached to a carbon atom, and the other is extended from the main structure. This type of drawing is used in organic chemistry to visually depict complex molecules, showing the connectivity between atoms and functional groups.

Expert Solution
Step 1

First gives priority according to the rules. Highest atomic number group have highest priority.  First give them priority and then make a circle according to priority going by 1---> 2 ----> 3 . If the circle goes clockwise, then it called as R configuration and if it goes anti-clockwise , then it is called as S configuration.
