Chapter 5, Problem 5.40SP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The absolute configuration of D-()-erythrose is to be identified with the knowledge of absolute configuration of D-(+)-erythrose.

Concept introduction: (R) or (S) configuration is assigned in fisher projections with the help of Cahn-Ingold-Prelog convention. Priorities are assigned to groups that are attached to chiral carbon atom. The direction of arrow from group 1 to group 2 to group 3 is analysed and then configuration is assigned according it.

To determine: The absolute configuration of D-()-erythrose on the basis of the knowledge of absolute configuration of D-(+)-erythrose.
