Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The enantiomers of Plavix are to be drawn and the enantiomer of Plavix with the S configuration is to be identified.

Concept introduction: 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.
