Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: Whether the given statement about the priority groups in R and S systems is true or false needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The stereocenter contains four different groups and depending on the priority of groups, R and S systems are identified.
(b)
Interpretation: Whether the given statement about the R-enantiomer of ibuprofen is true or false needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The stereocenter contains four different groups and depending on the priority of groups, R and S systems are identified.
(c)
Interpretation: Whether the given statement about order of priority groups in R-enantiomer is true or false needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The stereocenter contains four different groups and depending on the priority of groups, R and S systems are identified.
(d)
Interpretation: Whether the given statement about mirror image of an R-enantiomer is true or false needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The chirality in a group in a molecule results in the formation of two enantiomers. These enantiomers are non-superimposable mirror image of each other.
(e)
Interpretation; Whether the given statement about the R, S system needs is true or false needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system is a set of rules that allows us to unambiguously define the stereochemical configuration of any stereocenter, using the designations 'R ' (from the Latin rectus, meaning right-handed) or ' S ' (from the Latin sinister, meaning left-handed).
