Chapter 7.6, Problem 9E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A perspective drawing of R configuration of (+)-.1-phenylethanamine must be given.

Concept introduction:

R and S configuration defines the absolute configuration of a stereocenter. When the orientation of different groups in a stereocenter follows clockwise direction from higher to lower priority then it is defined as R configuration. Similarly, when the orientation of different groups in a stereocenter follows anti clockwise direction from higher to lower priority then it is defined as S configuration.
