• Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists.
• Include H atoms at chiral centers only.
If a group is achiral, do not use wedged or hashed bonds on it.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Absolute configuration: After giving priorities to all the groups attached to chiral carbon atom, if 4th priority group is below the plane, then clockwise rotation gives R configuration and anticlockwise rotation gives S configuration.

If we fix one of the four bonds of chiral carbon atom then simultaneous rotation of other three ( clockwise or anticlockwise ) show same absolute configuration.

In structure (i), all the groups attached to C having CH₃ are achiral.
