Label each asymmetric carbon in the compound below as R or S.
Asymmetric Carbon
An asymmetric carbon, also known as a chiral carbon, is a carbon atom that is attached to four different groups, making its mirror image not superimposable on itself.
R or S
A system for specifying the configuration of chiral centers in molecules, based on the CIP (Cahn-Ingold-Prelog) priority rules.
- Label asymmetric carbons as R or S using the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rules.
