Problem: Draw a structural formula of the R configuration of the compound shown below.Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. Include H atoms at chiral centers only. If a group is achiral, do not use wedged or hashed bonds on it.
🤓 Based on our data, we think this question is relevant for Professor Dunford's class at UW-SEATTLE.
FREE Expert Solution
To draw R configuration:
When H is at the back (dashed line)
- S → counterclockwise
- R → clockwise
- Higher atomic mass → higher priority (1 – highest, 4 – lowest)
