Question

Steps to determining R/S Configuration *WHEN HYDROGEN/LOWEST PRIORITY IS DASHED WEDGED*

Answer 1

The steps to determining R/S configuration when hydrogen/lowest priority is dashed wedged involve assigning priority numbers and using the clockwise-counter-clockwise rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps to determining R/S Configuration when hydrogen/lowest priority is dashed wedged

1. Assign priority numbers (1, 2, 3, and 4) to the four groups attached to the chiral center.
2. If the lowest priority group (#4) is pointing away from the viewer, use the clockwisecounter-clockwise rule to assign R or S configuration.
3. If the lowest priority group is not pointing away from the viewer, swap #4 with the group away from the viewer and then assign R or S configuration based on the direction of the arrow drawn from #1 to #2 to #3.
