Question
### Chiral Compound Identification Exercise

#### Task
Identify the name of each of the following compounds. Be sure to include R or S for any chiral compounds.

#### Compound Structures

1. **First Compound:**

   - Structural features: Contains a nitro group (NO₂), a hydroxyl group (OH), and a chiral center at the carbon attached to the hydrogen (H), methyl group (CH₃), nitro group, and hydroxyl group.
   
2. **Second Compound:**

   - Structural features: Contains a secondary alcohol group (OH) and a nitro group (NO₂) on a chiral center.
   
3. **Third Compound:**

   - Structural features: Contains a chloro group (Cl) attached to a double bond (alkene) and a hydrogen (H) on the same carbon as the chloro group.
   
4. **Fourth Compound:**

   - Structural features: Contains a double bond (alkene) and a chiral center at the methyl group (CH₃), hydrogen (H), and the two carbons of the double bond.

Note: Chiral centers are represented by wedges (solid lines) and dashes (broken lines), indicating the spatial arrangement of the groups around the chiral carbon atoms.

#### Interpretation of Chiral Centers
- **R configuration**: Assigns a priority to substituents based on atomic number and observes the sequence in a clockwise direction.
- **S configuration**: Assigns the priority similarly but observes the sequence in a counterclockwise direction.
