Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The R,S configuration to the enantiomers and two diastereomers of a compound with R,S in configuration are to be assigned.

Concept introduction: R,S configurations are used to determine the relation between two compounds. Enantiomer of a compound has opposite configuration. Diastereomers of a compound have at least one stereogenic centre with same configuration and at least one stereogenic centre with opposite configuration.
