(a)
Interpretation: The stereogenic center in the given molecule must be assigned R or S configuration.
Concept introduction: Stereogenic centres are given R and S configuration by sequence rule that is by assigning 1 to 4 priorities to the substituents attached at the chiral center on the basis of their
(b)
Interpretation: The stereogenic center in the given molecule must be assigned R or S configuration.
Concept introduction: Stereogenic centres are given R and S configuration by sequence rule that is by assigning 1 to 4 priorities to the substituents attached at the chiral center on the basis of their atomic number higher the atomic number higher is the priority followed by rotating the molecule from the side of highest priority group to that of the lowest priority. If the molecule rotates in clockwise direction then it is assigned R configuration while if it rotates in anticlockwise direction then it is assigned S configuration. If the first priority atom of the substituent groups is same then the priority of second atom is checked and so on.
