Question
**Identify the Absolute Configuration of Chirality Centers**

In each of the following compounds, identify the absolute configuration of the chirality centers as R or S. Note: If multiple chirality centers are present, indicate the stereochemical designations as RR, SS, RS, or SR. (Other terms used for chirality center include chiral center, stereocenter, and stereogenic center.)

1. **First Compound:**

   The molecule features a heterocyclic ring with an oxygen atom and a carboxylic acid (CO₂H) group attached to one carbon. Determine the chirality at the carbon connected to the carboxylic acid group.

   - Dropdown Options: [R, S]

2. **Second Compound:**

   This is a cyclohexene structure with two methyl groups attached. Analyze the chirality at the carbon atoms connected to these groups.

   - Dropdown Options: [RR, SS, RS, SR]

3. **Third Compound:**

   The structure includes a carbon bonded to a deuterium (D), a hydrogen (H), a methyl group, and a carboxylic acid group. Assess the configuration at the chiral center.

   - Dropdown Options: [R, S]
