While assigning R and S configuration, the correct order of priority of groups attached to the chiral carbon atom is
Options
- AC O N H 2 > C O C H 3 > C H 2 O H > C H O
- BC O N H 2 > C O C H 3 > C H O > C H 2 O H
- CC O C H 3 > C O N H 2 > C H O > C H 2 O H
- DC H O > C H 2 O H > C O C H 3 > C O N H 3
Correct answer
B. C O N H 2 > C O C H 3 > C H O > C H 2 O H
Step-by-step solution
Priority of groups attached to chiral carbon atom is decided based on the atomic number of the substituent.
