(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The relative priorities for the given set of groups has to be assigned.

Concept introduction:

According to Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system,

The group attached to asymmetric center should be ranked based on the atomic number of atom which directly connected to asymmetric center.  The higher the atomic number of atom, higher the priority.  If there is tie, then consider the next atoms attached to the connected atom and so on.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
A. B. b. Now consider the two bicyclic molecules A. and B. Note that A. is a dianion and B. is a neutral molecule. One of these molecules is a highly reactive compound first characterized in frozen noble gas matrices, that self-reacts rapidly at temperatures above liquid nitrogen temperature. The other compound was isolated at room temperature in the early 1960s, and is a stable ligand used in organometallic chemistry. Which molecule is the more stable molecule, and why?
Where are the chiral centers in this molecule? Also is this compound meso yes or no?
