Chapter 5, Problem 5.60P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The relation between the compounds A and B is to be determined.

Concept introduction: Newman projections are drawn to visualize the different conformations of a compound around CC bond. In Newman projection the circle represents the back carbon and the dot represents the front carbon.

The stereochemistry of the compound is determined by prioritizing the groups attached to its stereogenic center. The groups are prioritized on the basis of atomic number of their atoms. The group that contain atom with higher atomic number is given higher priority. Complete the circle in decreasing order of priority from 123. The configuration of the compound is R and S when circle rotates in clockwise and anticlockwise direction.

Figure 2

In the given compound, OH, H, CHO and C(II) groups are attached to C(I). The highest priority group is OH because the atomic number is higher. The carbon atom of group CHO is bonded to oxygen atom whereas carbon atom of C(II) is bonded to three different groups. The prioritization of groups is shown in Figure 2. Hence, the R or S configuration around two stereogenic centers are, C(I) R, C(II) R.
