Question

NOTE: I is r, II is R (First option) is the incorrect answer

Assign R/S configurations to the two chiral centers indicated below (Hint: When the 4th priority group is in the plane of the page, you either have to mentally rotate it back or use the “switch method”). **Diagram:** The image displays a chemical structure with two chiral centers labeled as I and II. Arrows indicate these centers. The structure includes various functional groups and rings, with the priorities of groups around each chiral center following the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog convention. **Options:** - ○ I. is R, II. is R - ○ I. is S, II. is S - ○ I. is R, II. is S - ○ I. is S, II. is R The correct choice is highlighted: - ● I. is R, II. is R

Expert Solution
Step 1

For assigning R and S priority are given on basis of atomic number . Highest atomic number gets highest priority .

If first atom  is same then move to next until conclusion is made.
