Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

All the chiral centers in cortisone are to be identified and the appropriate (R) or (S) designation for the configuration of each chirality center in it is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Each center is analyzed separately if the compound contains more than one chirality center.

The designation of each carbon is determined by using the numbers.
