Chapter 5, Problem 3Q

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The $\left(R,S\right)$ designation for the given structure is to be given.

Concept introduction:

Priority is given to all the four groups attached to the chirality center on the basis of their atomic number.

After giving priority to four groups, rotate the molecule such that the fourth priority group is away from the observer.

Now, move from a to b to c; if the direction is clockwise, then the molecule is designated as $\left(R\right)$, and if the direction is anticlockwise, then it is designated as $\left(S\right)$.
