(a)
Interpretation: The stereogenic center in the given compound is to be labeled as R or S.
Concept introduction: A carbon atom that has four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as chiral carbon atom. Chiral carbon centers are also called as asymmetric or stereogenic centers.
The naming of chiral center and geometric isomers are based on Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules. If the priority assigned to each group attached to the chirality center in a molecule is in a clockwise direction, then it is the R-stereoisomer, and if this is counter-clockwise, then it is the S-stereoisomer. R and S-stereoisomer are mirror images of each other.
Answer to Problem 5.47P
The stereogenic center has S configuration.
Explanation of Solution
The R or S configuration can be assigned by following CIP rules as follows.
(1) Assign numbering to the groups which are bonded to the chiral carbon based on the molecular weight and electronegativity.
(2) If the sequence of the numbering follows clockwise direction, the chiral atom is assigned R configuration.
(3) If the sequence of the numbering follows anticlockwise direction, the chiral atom is assigned S configuration.
(4) If the rotation is clock-wise and the least priority group is above the plane, then the configuration is inverted to the obtained configuration from the above CIP rule which means R configuration becomes S and vice versa.
In the given compound, the increasing order of priority assigned to the groups attached to chiral center is,
H<CH3<CH2CH3<I
Therefore, the groups in the given compound are numbered as shown below.
Figure 1
The rotation in the above compound is in anticlockwise direction. Hence, the stereogenic center has S configuration.
