Question
Chapter 5.5, Problem 9P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The orientation of each group and subsequently R/S configuration is to be assigned.
Concept introduction:
It takes practice to be able to visualize and orient a chirality center in three dimensions. You might start by indicating where the observer must be Located—180° opposite the lowest-ranked group. Then imagine yourself in the position of the observer, and redraw what you would see.
