Chapter 5, Problem 5.53P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The stereogenic centers in paclitaxel are to be labeled as R or S.

Concept introduction: Paclitaxel is an anticancer substance which is effective against breast, ovarian and lung tumors.

The stereocenters are carbon atoms on which the interchanging of two atoms or groups results in the formation of new stereoisomers. The stereocenters are also known as stereogenic centers. R,S configurations can be used to determine the relation between two compounds. Diastereomers of a compound have at least one stereogenic center with same configuration and at least one with opposite configuration.
