What are the absolute configurations of these two molecules?
The direction of rotation of the 1-2-3 sequence is clockwise. The absolute configuration of these two molecules is R
What is the absolute configuration of the two carbon atoms in this compound?
How to assign R or S configuration:
-
Identify the 4 atoms attached to the chirality center and prioritize them by atomic number
-
Orient the molecule with the lowest priority group towards the back (dashed line)
-
Identify the direction of rotation of the 1-2-3 sequence: clockwise is R, counterclockwise is S
