Question
Identify the stereogenic carbon in (S)- and (R)-limonene, rank the substituents around it and rationalize the assignment of their stereochemical configurations.
1. Identify the stereogenic carbon in (S)- and
(R)-limonene, rank the substituents around it
and rationalize the assignment of their
stereochemical
configurations. Hint: When
ranking carbons that have multiple bonds,
consider the bolded carbon of C=C being
connected to 2 carbons and the bolded
carbon of C=C being connected to 3 carbons.
