Question

For the following compounds give their absolute configuration at each chiral center 

### Chemical Structures #### Left Structure: - **Cyclohexane ring**: A six-membered carbon ring, depicted in a planar hexagonal shape. - **Bromine (Br) substituent**: Attached to the cyclohexane ring with a wedge bond, indicating it is coming out of the plane towards the observer. - **Hydroxyl group (OH)**: Also attached to the cyclohexane ring with a wedge bond. - **Methyl group (CH₃)**: Attached to the same carbon as the hydroxyl group. #### Right Structure: - **Cyclohexanone ring**: A six-membered carbon ring with a ketone group (C=O) at the top, forming cyclohexanone. - **Methyl group (CH₃)**: Attached to the carbon adjacent to the ketone, as shown with a regular bond. - **Vinyl group (CH₂=CH-)**: Connected to the same carbon as the methyl group, depicted with a wedge bond indicating it is coming out of the plane towards the observer. The double bond between the carbon and CH₂ is shown in a linear fashion. These structures represent different organic molecules with various functional groups, important for understanding reactivity and stereochemistry in organic chemistry.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Assign priorities to the groups attached to the chiral centre as per CIP rule(Cahn-Ingold-Prelog)

If lowest priority is on dash :- 

Clockwise rotation - R configuration 

Anticlockwise rotation - S configuration 

 


If lowest priority is on wedge :- 

Clockwise rotation - S configuration 

Anticlockwise rotation - R configuration
