The absolute configuration of is:
Options
- A2 S , 3 S
- B2 R , 3 R
- C2 R , 3 S
- D2 S , 3 R
Correct answer
D. 2 S , 3 R
Step-by-step solution
at 2 Carbon Rotation is clockwise, but lowest priority group is on horizontal line so configuration will be S at 3 Carbon Rotation is anticlockwise and lowest priority group is on horizontal line so, configuration will be R ∴ Configuration is 2 S ,   3 R .
