Determine the absolute configuration of the asymmetric center in the following compound. The image depicts a structural formula of a bicyclic organic compound containing a sulfur atom (S) and an oxygen atom (O). The structure includes two fused cyclohexane rings. The illustration highlights the following features:1. **Fused Cyclohexane Rings**: The structure consists of two interconnected six-carbon rings, commonly found in bicyclic organic compounds.2. **Sulfur Atom (S)**: One of the vertices of the ring connects to a sulfur atom. The sulfur atom is covalently bonded to the ring and also forms a double bond with an oxygen atom (O), indicative of a sulfoxide functional group.3. **Oxygen Atom (O)**: The oxygen atom is double-bonded to the sulfur, represented by a double line, suggesting the presence of a sulfoxide group.4. **Hydrogen Atoms (H)**: There are two hydrogen atoms shown in the structure. One is located on the bridgehead carbon of the bicyclic system, represented by a solid wedge indicating that it is oriented towards the viewer. The other hydrogen is on a different bridgehead carbon, shown with a dashed wedge indicating it is oriented away from the viewer.5. **Lone Pair Electrons**: Two dots near the sulfur atom signify the lone pair of electrons typical for sulfur, which is not involved in bonding.This chemical structure may serve different roles in organic chemistry, including as an intermediate in synthetic reactions or as part of a larger molecular framework in pharmaceuticals or natural products.
