CH ₃- CHCl - CH ₂- CH ₃ has a chiral centre. Which one of the following represents its R-configuration?
Correct answer
1
Step-by-step solution
R-configuration indicates that a clockwise circular arrow goes from higher priority to lower priority and that lowest-priority substituent is in the back. Related Theory A counterclockwise direction is an S (sinister, Latin for left) configuration. A clockwise direction is an R (rectus, Latin for right) configuration.
