Chapter 4, Problem 36P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The absolute configuration of cis-3-bromocyclohexanol is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The absolute configuration (R/S) at a chiral carbon is determined on the basis of Cahn-Ingold-Prelog (CIP) rules.

If atom/group priorities excluding the lowest priority group follow a clockwise path, the absolute configuration is R. If the path followed is counterclockwise, the absolute configuration is S.
